On GAMEPLAY this week: a celebration of some versatile composers who are just as much at home scoring for videogames, film, and TV!
We’ll hear game music from Spider-Man, Dante’s Inferno, The Last of Us, Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands, and many more by some of the giants of the game industry, including Garry Schyman and multiple Emmy-winner and Interlochen alumna Laura Karpman.
Join us for an adventure on Classical IPR Saturday at 1 p.m. This week’s full episode and playlist are available below.
Generous support for the music heard on this program comes from the Robert T. and Ruth Haidt Hughes Memorial Acquisitions Fund. Special thanks to Michael Culler for engineering assistance. Keith Brown is GAMEPLAY’s host and executive producer.
