ZombiU composer discusses his work on the project
A portion of a Bloody-Disgusting interview with Composer Cris Velasco...
BD: What’s been the most exciting thing about composing the soundtrack for ZombiU?
CV: The whole score was written in about 10 days. That was pretty exciting! I also got to record my good friend, Nicole Garcia, on violin. I’ve known Nicole since high school and have used her on numerous recordings. We put together a string quintet for this game. There were two violins, a viola, and two cellos. I called them the Apocalypse Ensemble. The idea was to have a much more intimate setting for the strings. It creates a much rawer sound by using only a few players like this. A scarier sound.
