Hear composer Jesse Harlin talk about his music for Mafia: Definitive Edition. The game is a remake of the first Mafia game, which came out in 2002, but with completely new music written by Jesse. We’ve had Jesse on the show twice before; once was for Yoku’s Island Express in 2018 and in 2016, Jesse was on Level to talk about his work on Mafia 3. That was mostly a blues score, but the score for Mafia: Definitive Edition is entirely orchestral.…

On occasion, I’m offered the opportunity to interview a composer about a film or tv series rather than a game. I tend to pass on those chances, but I couldn’t refuse the opportunity to speak with composer Larry Goldings.
