He recently contributed original music to key Xbox One launch title, Forza Motorsport 5, recorded at George Lucas's Skywalker Sound. His prolific career encompasses contributions to many other celebrated productions. A multi-faceted independent music and audio creative with many years' experience in both the music and videogames industries, he has dozens of published titles to his credit as composer/producer, audio director/consultant, sound designer and voice director. This interview concerns itself with the development of game sound and music over the last few years. TNS: Can you give us your take on what's happened over the last five years or so in game audio?
