Inside the 'Grand Theft Auto V' Soundtrack

Not sure if anyone has seen this but I found this interesting article. They have snippets of Radio Stations as well.

 

"We have 15 radio stations, two talk radio stations, 240 licensed songs, and somewhere in the proximity of 20 movies worth of score. It's the largest soundtrack that we've done, and the largest score that we've done."

Edit: Additional Info (credit goes to Kevstyle for the idea):

 

 

There's a station called Vinewood Boulevard Radio, which features Stephen [Pope] and Nate [Williams] from Wavves. This is a modern rock station, the embodiment of the young Los Angeles rock scene. For us Wavves is the most exciting, so it was pretty amazing to work with those guys.

Mexican culture is so big in Los Angeles, and it was fitting that we did a station like that. That's East LOS FM, which was curated and DJ mixed by Camilo [Lara] from the Mexican Institute of Sound. It's a combination of Mexican electronica, narcocorridos, other traditional songs and Mexican ska.

DJ Pooh hosts the West Coast Classics station. He's legendary – this is the guy who created the movie Friday. He's a big personality, and he grew up with all these guys who are on the station. We were getting phone calls from Pooh saying, "I'm driving over to Dre's house, what do you need from him?" And then 30 minutes later he's like, "I'm going to Snoop's house." We've already done something like this in San Andreas, so to build on that and have Pooh guiding us through it and helping us find true gems – I think that station's going to be surprising, even though we've covered that material before.

Rebel Radio is our take on outlaw country, by Jesco White, of the [documentary] The Wild and Wonderful Whites of West Virginia. Look him up. This is the kind of character that just fills out this world we've created.

theres 17 stations

"We have 15 radio stations, two talk radio stations[...]"

 

15+2=17

 

 

OT: 20 movies worth of score? Holy sh*t, I really can't wait to see what they've done with the atmospheric score!

 

 

Here's Tangerine Dream by the way for anyone wanting to take a listen to his previous work. Take a listen at around 10:40 ish and you can hear an awesome track that would sound perfect during a bank heist.

I, for one, cannot wait for Rebel Radio, Lowdown FM, The Space and World Wide FM, but I still hold out a smidgeon of hope for an "Independence FM"-esque station. If not, I'll simply be relegated to using my iDevice as before.

 

Stop going on about metal, please. It's Los Santos (LA), it hardly has a metal scene, if any.

 

Yeah, Its not like the LA scene has had/has the biggest metal bands of all time. Oh wait.............

Sorry if this is a dumb question but what is "score"?

In V instrumental music that will play during missions and at certain moments in free roam.

Every movie you have seen has had some version of a score recorded for it. (Done by an Orchestra)

1: there NEEDS to be a metal radio station,

 

2: LA has no "metal" scene? Go Away

Incidental music; essentially, it's music used to set a scene or enhance a mood during a film/gameplay.

Ahh thanks. So basically the ambient music when skydiving or scuba diving and background music during missions and such?
