Jason Graves on Studio Construction, Networking, Recording Live Sounds

In this episode Nathan chats with Jason Graves - an film and game music  composer based in North Carolina. Jason has scored games such as The Dark Pictures Anthology, Moss, Tomb Raider, Far Cry Primal, Until Dawn,  The Order: 1886 and Dead Space. His repertoire is truly diverse, from aleatoric and sweeping orchestral journeys in space, to haunting and immersive soundscapes in historical, gothic and supernatural worlds, to  manipulating ancient instruments in a Stone Age natural environment and  whimsical waltzes for an intimate pastoral palette.
