John Paesano's Score Captures Spider-Man Behind The Mask

insomniacgames.com

Spider-Man is back, and this time he's older, savvier, and way more confident in the latest addition to the story fromInsomniac Games and Play StationJohn Paesano created a soundtrack that captures the changing mood of New York City and all the villians (there are lots!). 

In our conversation, John told me that he and the entire team at Insomniac were thrilled to bring a new version of Spider-Man to life:

John says one of the aspects that made scoring this game so interesting was the challenge of supporting the inner conflict Spider-Man has in balancing his career and personal life in the music.

Vinyl and digital releases of the soundtrack are in the works for the near future. Not all the music John wrote for various villians is in this game, which means we're in for more surprises as the DLC is released!  Stay tuned...
