Yeah, his pumping Prodigy-like music charms our ears through the nitro ride in the depths of gigantic tube. Then was the «Bandits: Phoenix Rising». A post nuclear adventure on the wheels, we can say. Very atmospheric mix of techno, rock, funk and disco – that's what Simon showed us.
Today he is working at GRIN as a sound director/composer on two big projects: Bionic Command and Bionic Command Rearmed. Want to know more?
Q: First of all, tell us about yourself and how do you managed to get into Grin.
A: My name is Simon Viklund, I'm 28 years old and I've worked at grin for eight years almost exactly. I know Ulf, one of the founders of the company, from art high school. When the company was just starting out and they were making prototype games to show investment companies in order to raise funding, I was the one who composed the music for them."

"On this week's episode of The 1099 Podcast, the composer at 10 Chambers, former audio director at Starbreeze, and man behind the sound design in favorites like Payday 2, Bionic Commando Rearmed, and Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons, Simon Viklund, joins host Josiah Renaudin to explain how sound gets into games. Simon details what it's like creating both music and sounds for major video games, how aspiring designers can break into the industry, whether or not you have to capture all of your own original sounds, and what makes upcoming co-op shooter GTFO special."
Neil writes: "Whilst many out there will be hotly anticipating jumping on a plane and heading off for a summer break, even more will just be happy to kick back with a controller in hand, seeing out the summer with some hot and sweaty gaming sessions. And what better way to enjoy the delights of the summer sun than by picking up a new game or two at discounted prices.
