In this video, the band discusses the scoring process. Everyone's favorite Gawker-family gamer site, Kotaku , posted this video from The Creators Project with a light description a few days ago.

HEALTH , the noise band from Los Angles, recently did the soundtrack for the just released Max Payne 3 . In addition to the songs appearing in the game, HEALTH [...]
