If you've been reading the News & Observer for a while, you might recognize the name of Jason Graves, a local composer who specializes in computer-game soundtracks. We included him in our 2009 edition of "8 Great Local Acts," and even set the preview trailer to some of his music.
As for more recent work, Graves also did the soundtrack for one of this season's top computer-game releases, the "Lara Croft" reboot "Tomb Raider," which comes out on Tuesday. he also got an assist in making it from local artist Matt McConnell, who designed a custom-built instrument just for the project.
See a video about that here, and a Sunday-paper feature about it here.
