Nathan McCree
Nathan is most well known for creating the original music for "Tomb Raider". While creating the "Tomb Raider" music, he had an idea in mind to create music that sounded like English classical music. He notes that his influences might have come from English classical music that his father used to play when he was small. He wrote the entire score for the first "Tomb Raider" in four weeks without insight on the game levels to help him draw the music accordingly. On the following two games he was still getting very limited descriptions for what musical elements he needed.
