TMNT Composer Interview

Renowned video game composer duo Cris Velasco and Sascha Dikiciyan have created the original musical score for Ubisoft's TMNT video game based on the CGI feature-length film starring the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles®. Developed by Ubisoft's Montreal and Quebec City Studios, the TMNT video game is rated E10+ and available now at North American retailers.

Drawing on their diverse musical references, Velasco and Dikiciyan have composed a cinematic, action-driven score that encompasses orchestral, rock and break beats to match the acrobatic navigation, collaborative combat and powerful, fast fighting moves of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

As characters from the movie and the original comic book series creep out of the shadows to face the Turtles, Velasco and Dikiciyan's music captures the sinister landscape of New York City and immerses players in the intense video game adventure. The composers deliver a mélange of bass-driven electronic synths and orchestral swells with an overlay of raw guitar punches, staccato beats and Asian-flavored melodies.
