Video game music is often timeless, and there's perhaps no greater recent example of that than this year's Grammy award winner of Best Score Soundtrack for Video Games and Other Interactive Media, which went to the composer for a remake of a 44-year-old RPG.
Composer Winifred Phillips has contributed the music for plenty of iconic games over the years, having been credited on God of War (2005), LittleBigPlanet 2, Sackboy: A Big Adventure, and more.
However, the game soundtrack she's just won a Grammy for is none other than Wizardry: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord – specifically, the 2024 remake of a highly influential RPG which first released in 1981.
As you might expect, Phillips' updated soundtrack sounds rather different to the original, but it's so damn good that it beat some very popular rivals for the award.
Also nominated were Bear McCreary for God of War: Ragnarok's Valhalla DLC, John Paesano for Marvel's Spider-Man 2, Wilbert Roget II for Star Wars Outlaws, and Pinar Toprak for Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, making for a truly eclectic mix.
