3Four for Music the Soundtrack Podcast is a series of podcasts for film and game scores that George Strezov from Four for Music is hosting.
The guest of this episode of S3 is Rob Westwood - a game music composer renowned for his work on: Asgard’s Wrath, Remnant: From the Ashes, Lego The Hobbit: The Video Game, The Lego Movie Videogame, Lego DC Super-Villains and many more.
In the beginning of the conversation Rob shares how he has begun his composer’s journey. The speakers also discuss the challenges and the opportunities connected with adaptive music, as well as some specific aspects of their composing process and experience.
Later we get an inside look at Rob’s work on Asgard’s Wrath - how he has handled the composition from a technical point of view and also what his approach was on the stylistic, instrumental and orchestral side of things. Then Rob and George share some stories and details about other interesting projects they’ve been part of.
Another theme on focus in that second part of the podcast is the orchestra recording sessions. Rob mentions which the tricky parts are for him and how he manages them.
The final minutes of the podcast are occupied with our blitz questions and the fantastic main theme of Remnant: From the Ashes. Enjoy listening!
