With Meena Shamaly

Step into the musical world of Hollow Knight: Silksong with acclaimed Australian composer Christopher Larkin. In conversation with High Score curator Meena Shamaly, Chris reveals how he approached the monumental task of scoring one of the world’s most anticipated games, and creating a musical language as intricate as the world of Pharloom itself.

Discover the thematic ideas woven throughout the score, how musical “silk” connects the many corners of Pharloom, and how he expands the sound of the sequel through collaborations with some of Australia’s finest classical musicians.

A deep dive into composition, storytelling, and the art of making a game world sing.
