Scott Lloyd Shelly is answering questions on Reddit

Scott Lloyd Shelly from Brisbane audio service, Resonance array, is currently holding an IAMA community question thread on Reddit.com. The extremely talented composer has worked on projects like Bouncer Boot Out by fellow Brisbane indie developer, 5th World Media, but he's perhaps most well known for producing the soundtrack to the extremely popular indie game, Terraria.

When asked about how he got involved with Terraria, he answered...

Hi - glad you like the music - ReLogic would have to make that decision. They saw my post on an indie game developer forum, and asked if I would be interested (which I was immediately after seeing some graphics and playing through a very early build - I was slain. A lot.) ReLogic is a very small team, and the budget was pretty low. They were great to work with - very creative and totally professional. Laziness probably inspired me - I play guitar and piano, and was not very motivated to learn a lot of other pieces, so I just started making up stuff, which is pretty much how I still go about it. I mainly live in Logic land, although Reason is a lot of fun as well, but in a different way.
