TSAP S02E10: Tom Salta AKA Atlas Plug- Composer (Wolfenstein: Youngblood, Killer Instinct, Halo Franchise)

Sam Hughes speaks with composer Tom Salta, about his
recent work on Wolfenstein: Young Blood, his love for the 80's
(including his podcast), Twitch streaming the PUBG theme and much
more!


“I truly enjoyed creating a unique and signature early ‘80s
post-punk aesthetic for the latest entry in this iconic series,
using sound sources, synths, samplers and effects only available
in the early ‘80s. Needless to say, I had an absolute blast.
Another bonus was having the opportunity to do a remake of the
Joy Division song “A Means to an End” (featured in the ending
credits) performed by the Swedish hard rock group The Guilt. They
were amazing and it was an honor to produce them.”

ASCAP winning and MTV VMA nominated composer Tom Salta is one of
the most versatile and prolific music artists/producers working
in film, television, advertising and video games. Renowned for
crafting emotionally engaging soundtracks for multimedia, Salta
has received widespread industry acclaim for his world-class
produced hybrid scores featured in film, television and video
games such as Machine Games’ WOLFENSTEIN : Youngblood &
Cyberpilot, Microsoft’s iconic HALO series (G.A.N.G. Best
Original Soundtrack Award), Ubisoft’s PRINCE OF PERSIA: The
Forgotten Sands and RED STEEL (IGN Award for Best Original
Score), Tom Clancy’s GHOST RECON and H.A.W.X  series, as
well as the epic theme music for the record-breaking online
multiplayer game PLAYERUNKNOWN’s BATTLEGROUNDS, which has sold in
excess of 50 million units with over 400 million players.
