XG: Hi, can you introduce yourself and what is your history in the gaming industry?

JH: Hi! My name is Jason Hayes, and I'm a music composer who's been a member of the development team at Blizzard Entertainment for the last seven years. Most recently, I was the lead composer of World of WarCraft. In addition to other responsibilities, a big part of my job has been to provide music for the cinematic cut-scenes and promotional trailers produced by the Blizzard Film Department. Not long ago, I decided to leave my full-time position at Blizzard to go out on my own as a freelance music composer.
