Work contribution for Joel Schoch
Joel Schoch, music alumnus of the Zurich University of the Arts (ZHdK), has been awarded a CHF 10,000 work grant from the Ausserrhodische Kulturstiftung.
According to the ZHdK press release, Schoch studied composition for film, theater and media. The sound artist and game soundtrack composer experiments with a wide variety of sounds, from plastic trombones to old organ pipes, giving video games a unique atmosphere.
In spring 2020, his master project, the soundtrack for the game "FAR: Lone Sails", was honored with the Best Game Music award at the Game Audio Awards. The Game Audio Awards are among the most important European awards in the field of game music and sounds.
