Roly Porter, composer and sound designer from the art scene in Bristol, England, has played a major role in shaping the sound of Paper Beast.
His most recent album, "Third Law" was released by TriAngle Records in 2015. His next album, "Kistvaen," is scheduled to be released by Subtext in 2020. His live performances have been produced all over the world and are often made in collaboration with video maker Marcel Weber.
Roly has composed for numerous commercials and film scores, including "In Fear" and "Gandahar" for the sci-fi season at the British Film Institute in 2014.
Epitomising the Japanese underground alternative art punk scene, TsuShiMaMiRe are a female trio (Mari Kono, Yayoi Tsushima and Maiko Takagi) who draw on a wide variety of musical styles, such as trash punk and jazz. The Paper Beast original soundtrack features their well-known title “Speedy Wonder”, as well as new tracks composed exclusively for the game.

The double vinyl edition is available for pre-order in the G4F Records store: https://www.g4f-records.com/en/produit/paper-beast-edition-vinyle-precommande/

Statement from Eric Chahi
"I wanted a sound that would translate the surreal, dreamlike journey that Paper Beast takes us on.
That's why I wanted to work with Roly Porter – for the mystical, interstellar music he has created. The ambient music gives the Paper Beast universe sounds that are electro, metallic and lunar all at the same time. There is a lot of magnetism in his music.
In TsuShiMaMiRe we find a common energy that expresses the bizarre colorful side of Paper Beast. Their punk rock style expresses all the life of the creatures that inhabit this world, born of lost internet data. It's a contrast that unites the games two themes: data and life."
Paper Beast comes out in early 2020 on PlayStation®VR. For more information, visit https://www.pixelreef.fr/paper-beast/
