Post-apocalypse, mutant animals, and garbage zombies… Sounds fun!
summary
An indie agency composes the soundtrack for Trash is fun, a cooperative eco-game made pro bono for Ukrainian teens from Sumy; work includes a main theme plus five gameplay tracks (two ~5 minutes), each splitting 30-second sorting and zombie-attack sections. The team bans the expected no banjo cliché, layers toy piano and human percussion, adds industrial textures and fast rock/electronic pads, and embeds an alarm sound used in-game but removed from streaming releases; promotion falters after the invasion.
