Ben Starr and composer Lorien Testard explain how the actor’s videogame music debut came to exist.
What really resonated with my first playthrough of the newRPGthough, was the music.
I’m trying to do everything everywhere, all at once.
I’ve heard his work and I was like, ‘I don’t want to embarass myself.’
Then he pulled me aside and I was like, ‘What’s going on?’
He just said, ‘I’d like you to sing on the soundtrack.
Would you want to do it?’
Why would you want me?'
but without even thinking I just said yes, not really thinking about the consequences of my actions."
Testard has his own memories of asking Starr to be involved, too.
It was an emblematic track with orchestra and voices, and Verso.
He said yes, and we recorded the morning after.
Honestly, I would never let the song on the soundtrack if I didn’t like it.
Those tequila shots never hampered Starr’s performance, though.
“Hopefully–I’m saying hopefully, I’ve heard it–I’m so proud of it.
I’m so proud to be a part of this journey, and to explore different things.
