Kukas näissä bassoa tumpsauttelee kun on aikalailla tiukkaa vääntöä!? Löysinpä muuten vastauksen: The music with the alpha of I76 is unlike anything I've heard in a game—it's basically an entire soundtrack. Who composed the music and how did they arrive at the choices they came up with? Kelly Rogers, our in-house music director, and I initially had trouble finding a band with the specific funk sound we wanted. But our search came to an end when Kelly hooked up with Jason Slater, a music producer based in San Francisco. Jason introduced us to Arion Salazar, who is the bassist for Third Eye Blind, a Bay Area funk band and an Elektra recording artist. Kelly and I listened to a demo and we knew we found our band. At that point, we gave Arion a list of classic '70s funk songs that were representative of the style we wanted for the game and he whipped out a slew of rough demo tracks in about a week. We made a few suggestions and within a month, we had flown the whole band to LA to record and mix the final tracks, which amounted to roughly 70 minutes of original funk music. The Interstate 76 soundtrack is definitely unlike anything heard in other games. Most games use one or two composers who record everything using a high-end synthesizer, which often sounds great given that the music style matches that of the game. But knowing that the funk soundtrack would be such an integral part of the experience, we opted to record traditionally in a studio using a full six-member funk band. |
