Olivier Deriviere is a multi-awarded and BAFTA nominee French composer celebrated for his cutting-edge approach to music design and interactive music in the video game industry. His compositions, which merge orchestral, electronic, and game-specific elements, craft dynamic and immersive soundscapes. From the scores of A Plague Tale: Innocence and Requiem to the tracks of Streets of Rage 4, Olivier’s music has become an essential component of the gaming experience. To elevate his music to new heights, Olivier collaborates with world-class, multi awarded and Grammy winning performers.
A core component of Olivier’s work is his ability to create interactive music systems that adapt and evolve in real-time based on player actions. This groundbreaking approach has elevated the role of music in video games, fostering more dynamic and engaging gameplay experiences. Olivier’s sophisticated music designs have not only amplified the emotional impact of these games but have also set new industry standards.
The most impactful plays, movies, and books are often filled with violence, whether physical or psychological. If some argue that violence in video games breeds violent behavior, I counter that it demonstrates video games' potential to be seen as a form of art.
Just a reminder that music design has been very undermined by both composers and devs for decades. Maybe it is time for awards show to evaluate this discipline for real. Not just a tap in the back but a real appreciation that this is what makes VGM unique from anything else.
I’m not much into geeky gear but these 2 controllers have been really enhancing the musicality of my synth.
