The Pack is an open world computational thinking and exploration game built by Design I/O in collaboration with the New York Hall of Science.

The Pack score was composed entirely on a Buchla Music Easel semi-modular analog synth. The two-part ambient soundtrack cycles from day to night and is built to loop and crossfade seamlessly as the game moves through time. During gameplay the score is layered with distinct atmospheric sounds for each imagined habitat and point of interest as the player navigates the landscape.

While the final score for The Pack only cycles between two tracks, the process inspired several other compositions that do not appear in the game. These outtakes were also recorded on the Buchla Music Easel, and are evocative of the landscape, passage of time, and overall tone of The Pack as the player moves from day to night.
