Cajsa Larsson is a composer based in Karlshamn, Sweden that’s got a refreshingly unique approach to scoring games.

Sometimes, it can feel like all of my peers in game audio are in one of two camps concerning their musical background or training: jazz or classical.

It’s also a pleasure to meet someone who is influenced by a lot of the same non-video game music as me, and it was cool to see how those influences make their way into Cajsa’s music.

We talk about Cajsa’s unique approach to starting a song, how she founded a game company with friends from her university (Forgotten Key), and how she uses a very cool sound-stretching plugin to create banjo soundscapes.

Thanks for listening!
