Jessica Curry with the most exciting and inspiring video game music to open your ears and mind.
Stand by for, amongst other things, a sonic reimagining of Debussy, a nursery rhyme murder mystery, Deep Space musical dystopia and much loved tracks from two classic franchises.
Plus Jessica chats to French composer Olivier Deriviere. Known for his work on Assassin’s Creed IV: Freedom Cry, A Plague Tale, and the new GreedFall, Olivier is one of the most in-demand composers working in games today – described as “Game music’s eclectic daredevil”, he talks to Jess about pushing the boundaries of what music in games can be and how interactivity has exploded the aural possibilities composers can work with.
