Browse piano sheets by Lena Raine on Zen Virtual Piano. Lena Raine was raised in a traditional musical family that put her on the classical-music-and-choir track from an early age, sending her to symphonies and recitals with the plan that she would eventually go to music school. She continued through music school at Cornish College of the Arts, but found it difficult to pursue her growing ambitions as a soundtrack composer while taking classes that mainly taught her how to write grants and arrange for orchestras. A classical upbringing and a wish to write game music pulled in different directions at music school. After school she spent a few years working her way into the game industry, first as a contracted certification tester for Nintendo and then as a designer for Guild Wars 2, where she made her first big musical splash with her holiday bell choir mini-game. During this time she started producing scores for indie games such as hackmud, PANIC at Multiverse High! and Dead State. Scores for indie games produced during the same years show composing running alongside her work as a designer. A testerâs desk and a designerâs chair gave her two routes into the industry. She also began releasing her own solo music on Bandcamp under the name Kuraine, with hard-driving releases such as Singularity, and it was through these solo works that she caught the eye of Matt Thorson, creator of the indie multiplayer hit TowerFall. Thorson liked her fusion of ambient music, techno and 8-bit sounds so much that he decided to bring her on to compose the soundtrack for a platformer he was developing, Celeste. A solo project released under another name became the calling card for a game score. A fusion of ambient music, techno and 8-bit sounds shows a sound she could call her own. She has said that she had been doing the AAA game industry thing for about ten years before making the move to self-employment, and that an unexpected break led to her composing tracks for Guild Wars 2, which led into the other opportunities and her solo endeavors from there. She won the 2018 ASCAP Composersâ Choice Award for Video Game Score of the Year, and in Minecraftâs 21w42a snapshot she created six of the new Overworld tracks after previously contributing to the Nether update. About ten years in the game industry before self-employment frames her solo career as a later step.
