Jason Graves
Jason Graves, a two-time British Academy Award-winning composer, was given the rare opportunity to study under film composers Jerry Goldsmith, Elmer Bernstein, Christopher Young, and orchestrator Will Schaefer while earning a degree from the University of Southern California’s prestigious film scoring program. He has scored more than 150 commercials, television shows, movie trailers, and feature films, conducting orchestras at Capitol Records, Paramount Pictures, Skywalker Sound, Seattle and Salt Lake City.
Since 2003, Jason has been bringing his Hollywood expertise and passion for music to more than 50 games through his immersive, cinematic, award-winning scores. Recent AAA titles include DEAD SPACE (Electronic Arts), BLACKSITE: AREA 51 (Midway), TRANSFORMERS (Activision), the BLAZING ANGELS franchise (Ubisoft) and the STAR TREK franchise (Paramount).
When composing original music for film-based games, Jason's Los Angeles ties have allowed personal connections with top Hollywood film composers, including relationships with Elmer Bernstein (WILD WILD WEST), Hans Zimmer (KING ARTHUR), John Debney (ZATHURA) and Harry Gregson-Williams (FLUSHED AWAY).
Jason's music has been honored with two British Academy Awards (BAFTA) and received three Academy of Interactive Arts and Sciences Award (AIAS) nominations, winning "Outstanding Achievement in Audio" for DEAD SPACE. He has received seventeen G.A.N.G. nominations and four wins, including "Audio of the Year" for DEAD SPACE, "Best Original Theme" nominations for STAR TREK: LEGACY and BLAZING ANGELS 2, "Music of the Year" nominations for DEAD SPACE and KING ARTHUR and "Soundtrack of the Year" for THE HOBBIT.
Jason Graves and FabFilter
"First off, FabFilter Timeless is one of best-sounding and inspiring delays I've had the pleasure to use. I've often been frustrated with the lack of warmth and character of delay plug-ins. Timeless has a wonderful sound and interface that allows me to focus on being a creative composer instead of being an engineer."
"The side-chain input and amazing sound of the FabFilter Pro-C have pushed it to the top of my first-call compressor list. Before I found Pro-C all my favorite compressors were missing side-chain inputs - no longer a problem!"
