Video game music composer
I’m Rémi Gallego, a French composer for games, writing synthwave, metal and electronic music, also as The Algorithm. I write loops that carry a level for hours, and dynamic scores that rise and fall with the action, like my soundtrack for Sloclap’s Rematch. Powerful or melancholic, but always in service of the game.
Online 5v5 football from Sloclap, the studio behind Sifu. Every arena has its own theme, from Birch Forest and Halong Bay to Deep Sea and Space, and the album collects Season 0 to Season 5. Lotus Juice and milkyPRiSM feature on “Reach My Best”, Mc Staff on “JOGA A BOLA”.
A co-op roguelite shooter beneath the sea. The score follows the descent from the expedition camp through temples and royal gardens to the bosses: the Golemancer, Highpriest Un’glu and To’raka, King of the Abyss. Jungle and drum & bass drive the fights.
A tactical roguelite from Ishtar Games: hold the last city through the night while the horde comes in waves. Twenty-seven tracks of progressive metal and synth, from “Commander’s Theme” to “Sanctus Overdrive”, also pressed on vinyl by Kid Katana Records.
An arcade shooter with bold colour and over-the-top bosses: a demon out to kill other demons, through a long campaign and an endless, procedurally generated arcade mode. A heavy, brooding synthwave score, written, mixed and mastered by Rémi.
A first-person hack-and-slash from solo developer Nikita Sozidar, published by tinyBuild: dark fantasy realms, hordes to cleave through and menacing bosses. Rémi wrote two tracks for the soundtrack, as The Algorithm: “Fire and Flesh”, its first single, and “Elemental Fury”.
An urban mythology RPG from Farlight Games and Lilith Games, where heroes carry the powers of ancient gods through a near-future city. Rémi composed “Reborn” for the game’s first EP, sung by Nikki Simmons.
A terminal-based hacking simulator: follow the instructions of a recently deceased hacker down a rabbit hole. Rémi wrote the opening track, “Malware Injection”, and “Panic Track”, on a soundtrack shared with Carpenter Brut, Cinematrik and others.
