Cris Velascohas earned a reputation for writing some really terrifying music, and that landed him a spot on the team composing thesoundtrackfor Resident Evil 7. Cris and I talked about what makes music scary, and how he created his horrifying cues for RE7, using a sound library that included strings, vocals, and buzzing beehives!
