Drawing on culture and mythology

3:37

music, but something

3:37

about the culture and the mythology, I

3:40

can dip into that when I need to to

3:42

create a score. We have a lot of living

3:45

history and our myths and legends and

3:48

lore. It's all over gaming. Legend of

3:50

Zelda, three goddesses with three

3:52

different powers. Come on. I'm I'm so on

3:54

to you. Uh Nintendo,

3:59

why do I choose to compose and conduct

4:01

video game music? Growing up, I loved

4:04

music that could paint a picture, tell a

4:06

story music like Beethoven sixth

4:09

symphony,

4:11

the Vittor Storm, where you hear the

4:13

tremoli bases and it's terrifying.

4:17

As a child, there was so much room for

4:19

imagination and I'd listen to this

4:21

music. Later on, when I I got to

4:24

understand that you could work in the

4:26

medium of film and video games where you

4:29

got images to work with, I was in. That

4:32

was it for me.

4:33

>> Once in, she was all in.

4:36

>> All right. So,

4:38

>> you recognize this?

4:39

>> Yeah.

4:40

>> Married to her musical partner, Craig

4:42

Garfinkle. Here's what it looks like for

4:44

the pair to write the chilling score to

4:46

Vampire the Masquerade Bloodlines 2.
