Jessica Curry is one of the most acclaimed composers in video game history – she won a BAFTA for her composition of Everybody's Gone to the Rapture music, and she got her video game off the ground on the sweeping, dramatic score for Dear Esther. That's not to mention the horrible sounds she wrote for Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs.
