With that said, we anticipate his future endeavors, and we recommend that you take the opportunity to familiarize yourself with his portfolio.
People often ask me why my music for racing games is so dramatic. My answer to them is, well if you watch a motor race and see what happens when someone crashes or something. The drivers are gladiators
and racing is brutal.
And if you ever go to motor race, the sound
is overwhelmingly powerful.
