Some Excerpts
Do you run a Tomb Raider fansite or blog? If so, what would you say was your biggest achievement to date?
I started a niche fansite specifically for the Music of Tomb Raider in 2011 when Crystal Dynamics’ latest Communications Manager, Meagan Marie, called for community involvement. I felt the blog provided a unique and missing perspective on the series, and since I had been heavily involved in underground community accumulation of the Tomb Raider soundtracks (none had been officially released to date) I employed the site as a push towards the opposite. In fact, on March 5th 2013, the Tomb Raider: Original Soundtrack was released alongside the reboot – the first commercial Tomb Raider video game soundtrack ever was a long overdue achievement for the franchise. In the most minor of ways, I like to pretend that had something to do with me! I treasure the contact I’ve had with Tomb Raider composers because of the site, being able to interview Graves via Marie, and receiving a signed copy of the TR OST from the composer himself was pretty awesome too!
If you could change one thing about the Tomb Raider franchise, what would you change?
I’d like to see more official Tomb Raider music releases – backwards across the game series. I’ve pushed this idea to Crystal. It’s a hole in the Tomb Raider peripheral market. With the publication of the Tomb Raider: Original Soundtrack, Jason Graves accomplished the first Tomb Raider video game soundtrack release in 17 years of the franchise. The product sold out at launch to critical acclaim. Hopefully this is some indication as to how deserving the previous Tomb Raider soundtracks are of their own music albums too.
