Spider-man Miles Morales composer credits Boí-1da for perfecting the musical score

Spider-Man’s music composer, John Paesano’s conversation with io9 revealed the importance of having Boí-1da in the project and getting the musical score right.

Miles, being a fresh character in the gaming franchise, needed to stand out and have a musical score that reflected his personality. In the interview, Paesano mentioned why having Boi-1da on the project was instrumental in getting the character right, as he also possesses the same kind of passion for hip-hop as Miles.

“I’m a film composer by trade and grew up, you know, listening to John Williams. Boi-1da was instrumental in making sure that we got this orchestral sound down that incorporated hip hop correctly. He wasn’t just making beats, but in a few cases, he was a co-producer in many senses to make sure that everything was playing together.”

He further added, “It’s funny because when we wrote the score, there’s a lot of odd time signatures and syncopated stuff that’s not very straightforward, but hip-hop can be so much more direct, musically, and it was so fun to work with him because we both kind of brought each other outside of our comfort zones, which yielded just a really cool mesh of sounds and worlds.”
