Nathan Grigg (b. 1970)
Nathan Grigg is Composer and Music Director at Monolith Productions. He has been actively composing music ever since he was able to memorize his ideas at the piano (around age 6). Nathan obtained his Bachelor of Arts from the Evergreen State College in 1992, studying composition with Peter Winkler and Peter Randlette from 1989-91, and with Janice Giteck at Cornish College of the Arts from 1991-92. Nathan launched his music career in 1993 scoring games for publishers such as Sega of America, Warner Bros., Virgin Games, Tekmagik, and Microsoft. Since then he has worked at Microsoft Network as a Music Supervisor, where he pioneered the use of non-linear music technologies on the web, and at Microsoft Studios as Music Director, where he served as a creative resource for custom music company-wide. His critically-acclaimed soundtrack for "Pandora's Box" (Microsoft) brought game scoring back into center stage for him. Since then, Nathan has composed adaptive scores for Monolith, including "Aliens vs. Predator 2" (Fox Interactive), "No One Lives Forever 2" (Fox Interactive), and "TRON 2.0" (Disney/Buena Vista Interactive), with more exciting, immersive projects in the present and future.
