Behind the Scenes with the SCEA Music Department
If you ever though that music inPlayStation games is an afterthought, think again. I spent an afternoon with a trio from the music team here at SCEA and found out quite the contrary. Games likeUNCHARTED 2: Among Thieves,inFAMOUS and the upcomingGod of War III are proving just how amazing game music can be.
This definitely ranks up there with one of my favorite interviews I’ve been a part of. You’ve already metJonathan Mayer. This time we’re adding Senior Music Manager Clint Bajakian and Music Editor Scott Hanau, who discuss all things music here at PlayStation. In this six-minute video, the team touches on topics including what it’s like to work alongside game developers likeNaughty Dog, the huge orchestral sessions atSkywalker Sound and beyond, how the music was crafted for the UNCHARTED 2 train sequence, the percussion in God of War III and much more.
And you’ll also notice UNCHARTED 2 composerGreg Edmonson doing his thing along withLeslie Ann Jones, Director of Music Recording and Scoring for Skywalker Sound.
Hope you enjoy it!
