In Destiny, The Music Is A Hero, Too

Bungie Studios' video game, "Destiny," puts the player in an intense struggle to defend the last city on Earth from the evil forces of Darkness. Kate Remington talks with Michael Salvatori, co-composer of the score for "Destiny" who gives us a behind-the-scenes look at the process of writing epic music for an epic game. Salvatori's other music credits include the soundtracks for five Halo Games with Martin O'Donnell and C. Paul Johnson.

Born in Madison, Wisconsin, Kate Remington joined WSHU in December of 2000, and she's been WSHU's Music Director since 2002.
