JASON GRAVES ANNOUNCED AS TOMB RAIDER COMPOSER
BAFTA award winner profiled in latest episode of The Final
Hours of TOMB RAIDER
SQUARE ENIX and Crystal Dynamics today announced that Jason
Graves, an award winning composer with an outstanding pedigree
across film, television and gaming is penning the original score
for TOMB RAIDER.
Graves’ involvement is revealed in the third episode of
The Final Hours of Tomb Raider. In
The Sound of Survival, host Zachary Levi escorts viewers
to the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) London
headquarters, and speaks to Graves about his role in the reboot of
the iconic Tomb Raider franchise (BAFTA has previously recognized
Graves’ work for Original Score and Use of Audio in Dead
Space).
The composer reveals his vision for the game’s soundscape
and speaks about infusing atmosphere, emotion and authenticity into
Lara’s origins story through his musical score - and
illustrates his search to find the perfect sound for the game,
through his collaboration with sculptor, Matt McConnell who created
a bespoke and wholly original instrument to aid Graves in bringing
his unique sound to Tomb Raider.
