Woody Jackson and Daniel Lopatin on the GTA 6 score would be a dream team
I've been thinking a lot about the original score for this game. Woody Jackson's work on GTA V and RDR2 is incredible, and I'm pretty sure he's coming back for Leonida. But I'd lose my mind if they brought in Daniel Lopatin (Oneohtrix Point Never) to collaborate. His synth work on the Safdie brothers' movies like Good Time and Uncut Gems is unreal, and he just did Marty Supreme too. The guy knows how to build tension and atmosphere with electronic textures that would fit Vice City's neon-soaked nights perfectly.
Imagine cruising through the Keys at sunset with some lush, pulsing Lopatin pads underneath Woody's twangy guitar. Or a heist sequence where the score shifts from Jackson's live instrumentation into Lopatin's warped, anxious synthscapes. They could even split duties, Woody handling the more organic, swampy parts of Leonida and Daniel taking over the urban, after-dark Vice City stuff. The contrast would be incredible.
Rockstar's always had a good ear for composers, but this feels like a pairing that could define the whole vibe of the game. What other artists would you want to see contribute to the score or soundtrack?
