5 Awesome Video Game Composers You Should be Listening To Right Now

3. Ben Crossbones

Organ Trail According to his website, Ben Crossbones has some experience working sound design on several impressive IPs (XCOM, Prey2, Tony Hawk) and yet his most notable achievement to date, in this writer€™s opinion anyway, is the surprisingly haunting soundtrack for the IOS game Organ Trail: Director€™s Cut. You€™d think that a mash-up of The Oregon Trail and the zombie apocalypse would result in something pretty goofy, right? Give this ditty a listen and think again: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sAyo1-uGe_8 So much for the Griswold family trip through the undead wasteland. Cue despair,murderous bandits, and a probable death at the flesh-rotted hands of a zombie (or from dysentery). Be sure to play the game; it€™s good in ways that will surprise you and, more importantly, listen to the soundtrack and keep an ear out for Ben Crossbones. You can listen to and purchase the soundtrack for Organ Trail: Director€™s Cut here.
