This week as her special guest from the arts Ruth Copland is pleased to be interviewing BAFTA-nominated audio director, sound designer, and composer Vincent Diamante. Vincent is known for his award-winning work as the music composer for popular games Flower and Cloud from innovative game developer Thatgamecompany. The soundtrack for Flower was released separately as an album due to popular demand. Vincent is now the company’s audio director overseeing the music direction, composition, and sound design of the studio’s next project. Before joining the studio full-time, Vincent worked as a radio show host, games journalist, photographer, and even an artist. Thatgamecompany states that ‘The uniquely immersive nature [Vincent] brings to games could be attributed to his breadth of experience and his continued belief in the limitless possibilities in game audio design’. Vincent holds a Bachelor of Music degree in Electroacoustic Media from USC’s Thornton School of Music and a Master of Fine Arts in Interactive Media from USC’s School of Cinematic Arts. After graduating he remained at the university as faculty to teach both game design and sound design to the next generation of students. Known for his ability to score music with maximum emotional impact and relevance to the content Vincent has gained a dedicated following of music lovers who want to emotionally engage with video games and their music. He is currently hard at work scoring the next game project from Thatgamecompany.
