Composer, Jon Everist (Disintegration, Battletech)

TSAP S03E18


Sam speaks with composer, Jon Everist, about his journey
into music composition, his recent work on Disintegration, the
sources of his inspiration and more!

Jon On the Disintegration Score: "I wanted to capture
both the fragility and hopefulness of the human spirit," explains
composer Jon Everist. "The solo piano motif propels the piece to
a crescendo with the rest of the orchestra where our heroic theme
is revealed, representing the power and ingenuity of humanity
coming together for a common good. This is the theme of the
resistance."

"Jon Everist is an American video game and film composer from
Seattle, Washington. He first gained notoriety with his
award-winning score for Shadowrun: Hong Kong (2015) and continues
to work with longtime collaborator Harebrained Schemes and
Paradox Interactive to produce soundtracks for their games. His
most recent score for BATTLETECH (2018) was nominated for "Best
Video Game Score of 2018" at the 34th Annual ASCAP Screen Music
Awards and won honors at the 2019 Jerry Goldsmith Awards for Best
Video Game Score."
