I couldn’t decide which solo to use, but in video game music you don’t have to! 😄

Cheers Andy! Fun fact: I wrote this after getting the job and learning we'd be making Impossible Lair but before joining Playtonic. Just did it as a writing exercise. Completely forgot it existed until we were almost done with the soundtrack and the underwater factory level got an art pass😄

This is huge and potentially terrible news, their product portfolio is like 60% of the entire music industry. Kontakt alone is huge for so many people (myself included) so it'll be interesting to see what happens 😬 www.musicradar.com/music-tech/n...

Yooka & Laylee got a glow-up, so of course, the soundtrack had to as well. 🎶 Brand-new tracks + fully orchestrated classics from Wise, Kirkhope, Burke, Murdoch & Griffin — with the City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra bringing it all to life. Turn it up! 🔊 Yooka-Replaylee launches October 9th.

Had lots of fun doing LOUD TRAILER versions of Mr Kirkhope's Yooka themes for this. Also very handy that we have Chris Suth around, always delivers!🔊🎵

I don't really know what I'm on about most of the time, but Mr Linneman does. Heed his advice on all things performance and platformers! 😄

Suth has one of the craziest CV's a voice actor could ever dream of, despite primarily being a programmer. Always great to have him in the booth!🎙️

Wouldn't it be Grant if there was an interview about the magical music of Yooka-Laylee? Check out this recent interview with the legendary Grant Kirkhope from Sportskeeda, talking about his career, Yooka-Replaylee and MORE! www.sportskeeda.com/esports/news...

Grant Kirkhope wrote the soundtrack for so many gamers in my age group, and while I didn’t get a chance to talk to him in person at GDC, I did have a chance to chat with him over email.

Let's try this again... I'm Matt, I've been working in games for about 12 years now, shipped about 10 of them (most of them Lego games in the first few years) and I now make music and sounds for Playtonic Games. Currently working on Yooka-Replaylee! 🦎🦇
