Games & Soundtracks

Light of Alariya and Conjury Revell are video games produced by SMU Guildhall and published on Steam. Ayden led a team of three other student composers, closely collaborating with the Game Producers and Lead Designers on both teams. Across the span of three months, Ayden and his team produced a total of twelve music tracks between the two games.

Additionally, Ayden recruited two scratch orchestras and a chorus comprised of SMU Meadows undergraduate music students to record the soundtracks for both games. This was made possible thanks to funding from the SMU Engaged Learning Fellowship. The recording project was featured on the front page of Southern Methodist University.
