Nicolas Diteriks composed music for the real-time-strategy zombie survival game called They Are Billions. I was really taken with the art and design for this game – it’s steampunk, the colors are great, and it’s fun to look at. Nicolas used a full orchestra, recorded in eastern Europe, and used a lot of metallic sounds too to reflect that steampunk aspect of it.

Nicolas has worked with a composer we’ve had on Level a few times before, and will again soon: Olivier Deriviere.

Also in this conversation, Nicolas and I talk about a couple of great jazz pianists. We mention Shai Maestro and Esbjörn Svensson.
