In case you haven't played, there's an ambient soundtrack in the game depending on which character you are, where you're at in the world and what you're doing/how high your wanted level is. DJ Shadow was given all of these stems and asked to make something coherent out of them. He did exactly that.


Volume 2: The Score
GTAV is the first entry in the series to feature a dynamic original score composed and engineered to be completely responsive to the player’s actions within both missions and open world gameplay. The score was composed in a one-time collaboration between a team of legendary producers and composers including vanguard German electronic band Tangerine Dream, Woody Jackson (Red Dead Redemption, L.A. Noire) and renowned hip-hop producers The Alchemist and Oh No. For The Music of Grand Theft Auto V: Volume 2, the stems of the game’s interactive score are layered, mixed and arranged into an album of songs by acclaimed producer and DJ, DJ Shadow.

And if you're wary, of course the whole thing is on Youtube:
