BAFTA AWARD-WINNING COMPOSER JASON GRAVES SCORES PSYCHODRAMATIC ORIGINAL MUSIC FOR
DEAD SPACE 2
Thematic Horror Video Game Soundtrack Evokes Intense
Personal Drama of Isaac Clarke's Dark and Emotional Journey
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Los Angeles, CA - November 17, 2010 - Classically trained BAFTA-winning composer
Jason Graves returns to create a psychodramatic orchestral score for Dead Space
2, the highly anticipated next installment in the blockbuster action horror videogame
franchise. Reflecting hero Isaac Clarke's dementia and nightmarish personal journey,
Graves' original music score for Dead Space 2 features the intricately woven thematic
movement "Lacrimosa," a concerto for string quartet that runs throughout the game.
The game's intense and varied soundtrack also immerses players in this thrilling
action horror experience with haunting Unitology choral compositions, visceral
action music and spine-tingling string arrangements performed by A-List musicians
at Skywalker Sound.

"The score really runs the gamut as you play through the game. There are much bigger
and scarier pieces along with quieter, more personal moments to counterbalance them.
I wrote for string quartet to portray Isaac's vulnerable side. It's quite the
emotional arc, but of course still done in a very 'Dead Space' way."
- Jason Graves, Composer

Jason Graves previously composed the innovative, unique soundtrack for the original
Dead Space, which has been called "the scariest game ever made." Jason's groundbreaking
score was hailed by critics as a "truly original soundtrack" and "the best score
of the year." It was recognized with a myriad of worldwide nominations and won
two BAFTA awards - one for Original Score and one for Use of Audio. For the latter,
the Academy stated, "It's the music soundtrack that boasts horror and tension."

"It has been a real pleasure working with Jason on Dead Space 2. The range of his
composition is impressive, and his attention to detail never fails to amaze me.
His creativity, energy, and unique vision for the music has been key to establishing
the atmosphere of Dead Space 2."
- Andrew Boyd, Audio Director
