Music

Allister Brimble arranged Harry Gregson-Williams' original score from movie. Some tracks are original. He had this to say about the process of arranging the movie’s soundtrack for the game:

“

I did them all by ear but in 3 or 4 note polyphony, so I had to create lots of different chords out of fast single channel arpeggio's.

„

In some of Chicken Run’s music, an audible whistle sound can be heard. Brimble acknowledged this, saying:

“

I recorded myself whistling, then extracted a single cycle of the waveform and used the redefinable waveform to play it. Then I added pitch slide at start & vibrato & volume effects.

„

“

...When I say a sample it's only a 16 byte looping waveform but cut from a whistle sample.

„

Recording

These recordings were made using foobar2000 with exporting to OGG (Vorbis) format.
