Darren Korb is a game composer working for Supergiant Games. He's composed the soundtracks to smash indie hits like Transistor, Bastion, Pyre, and Hades. His upbringing as a singer/songwriter and bedroom producer laid a foundation for his work in game audio. He boldly challenges the mostly-instrumental world of game audio by infusing narrative lyrics that tell rich stories and expand the lore of each game world.We talked about how he got started, the art and science of writing non-cheesy songs for video games, and why Logic Pro X is his favorite DAW.Darren's soundtracks are incredible, and can be found anywhere music is streamed or sold.Enjoy the conversation!
