We are thrilled to announce we successfully broadcasted Blurred Radio’s first ever live streamed episode! We chatted with Austin Wintory, video game composer extraordinaire on Oct. 23, 2015 – the day his latest project Assassin’s Creed Syndicate officially launched. In this episode we discussed production processes for scoring a non linear story, getting out of your own way as an artist, and the balance of tech and talent to create great work.
