Jason Graves shares previously unreleased Tomb Raider trailer scores & additional music via SoundCloud [Updated]

Update: The Tomb Raider (2013) composer has added a further five tracks to his Additional Music collection on SoundCloud. The five cues represent the same World War 2 Base SOS Tower climbing sequence. One track is the final version that appears in-game, while the other four variations were unused. Graves mentioned three of them in his Tomb Raider: Original Soundtrack commentary; the corresponding track is a segment within "A Call Help":

"I composed three different versions for this gameplay. The first was very tentative and eerie, the second much more confident and assertive and the third a happy medium between the two. This is a major milestone in the game and we wanted to get the tone just right. In the end, various pieces from each version were cut together... slowly building with Lara's climb and gaining confidence with her ascent." - Jason Graves

The content now consists of 31 tracks totalling an hour and 42 minutes. Be sure to thank the composer for this unprecedented fan treatment via Twitter!

Fan Submission: "Remembrance" by Guillaume Jouan


"Remembrance" by Guillaume "Nomadozic" Jouan

Inspired by Tomb Raider (2013), this fan submission was composed borrowing themes from the game by Jason Graves. Guillaume "Nomadozic" Jouan attempted to imitate Graves by re-orchestrating some parts of the recognisable melodies he wrote.

If you'd like to submit a fan composition or remix to MoTR, please do so by contacting us. Be sure to provide a short description to accompany the piece; this may include information on how you composed or remixed it, what instruments you used, or what served as inspiration, etc.
