Composer of ‘Assassin’s Creed Valhalla: Dawn of Ragnarök' on her Grammy nomination in new category

Video game scores finally have their own category in this Sunday’s Grammy Awards Ceremony. Composer Stephanie Economou talks about her nomination. WBUR

Economou is the only woman nominated in the new category — something that surprised her. “There are just so many brilliant women voices in the video game music space,” she says. “I might be the first, but I'm not going to be the last, that's for sure.”

“You're not just consuming like you might be with film and television,” says Economou. “So that level of immersion, I really do feel is the closest that you can get to experiencing and loving and being part of art.”On her favorite moments from the soundtrack “I also still like listening to the track ‘Old Friends and Gentle Jailers,’ which is the second track on the album. Ari Mason, who's an incredible vocalist who I have known since childhood, sang vocals on that, and she also improvised a lot of things throughout the album, and I just love her performance on that track. I think it's really powerful and wonderful.

“I think anybody who has a hand in creating a game — whether it be the designers, the art directors, the composers, the sound designers — I think we're creating a world for others to make their own art, to find their own story, to live and breathe in. And I think that's a really fantastic thing. It's no wonder why games have the reach and the impact that they do.
