Grand Theft Auto, known for having iconic radio stations, will have its fifth installment with fifteen radio stations playing 240 tracks.
Rockstar soundtrack supervisor, Ivan Pavlovich in an interview with Rolling Stone said “It’s the largest soundtrack that we’ve done, and the largest score that we’ve done. For this game, which is set in our version of modern day Los Angeles, what was important for us was to capture that feeling of L.A. and California.
“We approached the radio stations as the musical soundscape [you experience] as you fly into L.A. One of the things we’ve never done in a GTA game before is a pop station; exploring that made so much sense in the context of L.A.”
So far, the confirmed radio stations are Vinewood Boulevard Radio, East LOS FM, West Coast Classics Radio and Rebel Radio.
Apart from the radio, Grand Theft Auto V ‘s original score will feature over 20 hours of music composed by Tangerine Dream and Woody Jackson, the composer for the scores of Red Dead Redemption, Max Payne 3 and LA Noire. Alchemist and Oh No, well known L.A. hip-hop producers have done composition work for GTA 5’s score.
