The story
Philip wrote the music for Kara, one of the three characters at the heart of Quantic Dream’s Detroit: Become Human. Her theme, “Little One”, has become one of his most played pieces.

How to build a theme
Philip takes apart Kara’s theme and builds it again from nothing, with one cello and a loop pedal.
Behind the score
Game director David Cage wanted three composers, one for each android, with radically different styles and moods, so that players feel they are moving between three different games. Philip wrote Kara’s music.
Kara’s score was recorded in Studio 1 at Abbey Road, with Philip conducting, and mixed by Andrew Dudman. Mary Lockwood was music supervisor and Aurélien Baguerre audio lead at Quantic Dream.
