'DK. Donkey Kong!' If you've heard these words while playing Donkey Kong 64, or have played hours of Goldeneye or Perfect Dark on Nintendo 64 with friends, then you've listened to the genius that is Grant Kirkhope. This week we speak to Grant, a BAFTA nominated composer who has created iconic soundtracks to critically acclaimed and fan favourite video games such as Goldeneye 64, Banjo-Kazooie, Perfect Dark, Viva Pinata, Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle, Yooka-Laylee, and more. Grant speaks with us about his journey into composing for games, his thoughts on todays soundtracks, working at Rare, and some other crazy stories as a composer and musician on the road.
