On Geektown Radio this week, we have all the usual TV new and air date info, plus we're all about the gaming, as we head over to EGX and take a look at the latest game releases and previews! If that wasn't enough, we also have an exclusive interview with Jeremy Nathan Tisser, the composer behind the music for best-selling VR game 'Raw Data'! Jeremy Nathan Tisser is a composer for film & television, but has really been focused on video game work recently, especially in VR games. Like a lot of kids, he started off playing the piano, but when his mum noticed he was a hyper kid who loved to tap on everything, she asked if he would like to switch to drums. Jeremy found his passion as a drummer, first studying rock – then moving into jazz and funk, playing in bands all throughout school. However, his big break came whilst in college, where he ended up scoring a VR project and making friends with Palmer Luckey and James Iliff. If you don’t know those names, Palmer Luckey is one of the founders of Oculus VR, and James Iliff is Chief Creative Officer for Survios, the company behind one of VR’s best-selling games, ‘Raw Data’.’. In the interview, we chat about composing for VR and coming up with the unique sound for 'Raw Data'. We also how he ended up being on screen in the hit movie 'La La Land'!
