Difference between revisions of "Nathan McCree"

Nathan McCree composed the music (with [[Martin Iveson]][http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_Iveson]) for Tomb Raiders [[Tomb Raider|I]], [[Tomb Raider II|II]] and [[Tomb Raider III|III]], and has been heralded as one of the best composers in the computer games industry. His musical themes are still used in Tomb Raider games to this day, and [[Tomb Raider III]] has been described as one of the "best sounding computer game(s)" ever  [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0566990/]. He composed the solo oboe tune that was the original Tomb Raider theme, whilst his use of "foleys" or musical cues, such as the marimba glissando heard whenever Lara found  a secret in [[Tomb Raider]] added greatly to the atmosphere of the [[Core Design]] games. The rhythmic "cellos followed by glockenspiel"  music heard when the [[T-Rex|Tyrannosaurus Rex]] appeared during the [[Tomb Raider|TR1]] game helped to make that scene one of the most memorable moments ever for Tomb Raider players[http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/tomb-raider-anniversary-first-impressions].
