Scott has composed music for a wide range of media, including film, television, games, and live performance, and is a violist with the Puget Sound Symphony Orchestra in Seattle. Scott is on the advisory board of the Game Audio Network Guild and the Game Developers Conference, and has coordinated and lectured at the Game Developers Conference’s Audio Summit tutorial sessions for more than twenty years.
