Sound of Play: 207 - Grant Kirkhope
Posted: July 17th, 2019, 10:08 am
Hosts Ryan Hamann and Darren Gargette are joined by the legendary composer Grant Kirkhope, as he talks about his work with Rare and beyond! From the plucky Banjo to a sound that is Beyond Earth, Kirkhope brings a wide array of tracks to share with Sound of Play listeners as he tells stories about working in a converted chicken coop at Rare to being contacted by Nintendo for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
What we aim to bring you with Sound of Play is a diverse sample of some of our favourite pieces from the many air-punching, spine-tingling, tear-jerking and grin-inducing videogame soundtracks we’ve heard over the years.
