Composer Jason Graves joins us this week to talk about his scores for blockbuster titles like Tomb Raider and Dead Space, and even a soundtrack he wrote for a video game store!

Graves, originally a percussionist, is a graduate of the University of Southern California's prestigious film scoring program.

He's since won two British Academy Awards and scored music for dozens of video game, TV and film productions.
