The AMA - Ask Marty Anything thread (Destiny)

by MartyTheElder, Sunday, April 10, 2016, 23:37 (2935 days ago) @ Mr Daax

In one of Beorn's questions, you mentioned that before you joined Bungie you had an interest in video games. What about video games interests you as a composer versus, say, scoring a film or a tv show or composing music without a visual medium as part of the process?

A: Composing music for visuals has always been interesting, but the added hurdle of interactivity makes it extra fun.
