JEFF RONA is an accomplished and award-winning contemporary composer for film, TV, and video games, as well as a recording artist and producer. He has collaborated with Philip Glass, Mark Isham, Lisa Gerrard, Basil Poledouris, Hans Zimmer and Cliff Martinez. Among his numerous credits as composer is the groundbreaking television series “Homicide: Life On The Street” as well as multiple AAA video games such as: “God of War 3”, “Far Cry 4”, “Marvel vs Capcom Infinite”, “Transformers”, “Resident Evil 2”, One of his most recent video game projects has been for “Devil May Cry 5,” which released in March 2019.
Devil May Cry 5 is a brand new entry in the legendary over-the-top action series. In the game, years have passed since the legions of hell have set foot in this world, but now a new demonic invasion has begun, and humanity’s last hope will rest in the hands of three lone demon hunters, each offering a radically different play style. United by fate and a thirst for vengeance, these demon hunters will have to face their demons if they hope to survive.
In this episode, Jeff Rona talks about the challenge he faced in writing a distinct theme for one of the main characters of DEVIL MAY CRY 5, called "V," and how that theme is presented and used very differently in the game versus in the soundtrack release. He also shares how one of the biggest challenges for the piece was not only writing the lyrics but finding the right style and vocalist to perform it.
