Shortly thereafter, he was held upside down and smacked on the bottom, letting out what would be the first in a long line of epic wails. The public premier of his pipes occurred five years later when he took the stage in what would be the first of many musical productions. At twelve years old he picked up his first guitar and began writing rock songs and playing in a long line of bands.
Darren produced his first critically acclaimed rock album while in high school. While still in college, Darren received a Telly Award for his composition "Cullinary Excitement," and began composing for TV. In 2007 he received his BA from NYU's Gallatin School. In 2008, three of his songs were featured in the film, "The Adventures of Food Boy" starring Lucas Grabeel (High School Musical). In 2009 he began working in video games, assuming the role of lead audio designer for SF Bay Area start-up, Supergiant Games, and independently authoring songs for the Rock Band Network. Furly's "Icarus' Song," which Darren authored for Rock Band, was chosen as one Harmonix's top 10 songs on the Rock Band Network. He has also written a new Power Pop musical with his brother. Darren currently resides in Clinton Hill, Brooklyn and splits his time between playing multiple instruments with several bands (Audio Fiction - bass, keys, Shelita Vaughns - guitar, Crystal DeVonne - guitar, Modakai - drums), playing sessions (guitar - Adam Green's "Morning After Midnight") working on his own music for Furly, producing other artists (A.L.X.), composing for television, film and video games, and authoring songs for the Rock Band Network.

This is the first tune you hear in the game and it sets the tone so perfectly. I love it, when game designers not only pay attention to graphics or storyline or gameplay but also think of music and put it all together. This is just wonderful art. The storyline could fit in a book, the graphics are often worthy to be in a painting and the music is just so beautiful. All in all, just a perfect game and perfect art. I would love to see more of this world if possible.
@thebravesirrobin.
Supergiant/Darren Korb did the same thing with Bastion's soundtrack. The first track of the Bastion OST, "In Case of Trouble", introduces you to the style of the rest of the soundtrack and thus the rest of the game.
@TimmCosplay
The funny thing is, if you look at one of the original PAX demos, it seems like Vanishing Point was going to be the first track in the game. :P They made the right choice switching it with this, though.

"...the graphics are often worthy to be in a painting..." They are in fact hand painted.
@creampop8553
@Cas Imir Except for the 3D models of course.
@BrynjaHjartans
@Creampop the textures on them are obviously hand painted too

I've been crying about that ending for a week already. . . Just so sad right now. . . Music is brilliant. . .
@WilkuPainter
yeah, this ending was amazing.
@leratoecon4547
***** nah, not the case here. He is just heartless bitch :C
@icywhatyoudidthere
temp967 Oh wow, you're so edgy and cool!
By the way, while the Transistor indeed has the power to "paint" the city, it can't bring back all the people who got processed, so even if she does restore everything, the city would be empty. So instead Red decided to spend eternity inside the Transistor with the man she loves. See, makes perfect sense.
The game is great, so is the story.
