For many of us, it’s hard to think of almost any videogame without our minds conjuring up the music that accompanied it. Over the decades they’ve evolved from simplistic monaural beeps and bloops to full orchestral scores recorded in 7.1 surround, but from their earliest days right up to today, soundtracks have played an integral part of our memories of the games we played, and the times in our lives when we were playing them. What we aim to bring you with Sound of Play is a diverse sample of our favourites pieces from the many air-punching, spine-tingling, tear-jerking and grin-inducing videogame soundtracks we’ve heard over the years.

Sound of Play Extra: Blood & Truth
Thomas Quillfeldt interviews Jim Fowler and Joe Thwaites. Jim is former Principal Composer at Sony Computer Entertainment Europe but is still heavily involved in projects at PlayStation’s London offices as a freelance composer. Joe is a Senior Composer and Music Producer at PlayStation, and both have worked on many first-party titles including VR Worlds. They chat about their ‘cinematic grime’ score for the PSVR-exclusive London-based gangster shoot-em-up Blood & Truth. Grime production is provided by Zdot, and MCs include Eyez, Jme, Kamakaze, and Ocean Wisdom. The soundtrack is available to stream on Spotify, Apple Music, and the like. http://media.blubrry.com/caneandrinse/caneandrinse.com/sound/blood_truth_sop.mp3 Edited by Thomas Quillfeldt. 0:00 – “Blood & Truth” by Joe Thwaites, Jim Fowler & Zdot 25:40 – “Too Many Crooks” by Joe Thwaites & Jim Fowler 28:40 – “Full Marks” by Joe Thwaites & Jim Fowler 30:52 – “Hercules (feat.
