Olivier Derivière (born 26 December 1978) is a French video game composer, best known for his work on the Alone in the Dark, Obscure, Remember Me and Streets of Rage 4 soundtracks.
At the age of eight, Deliviere's mother bought a synthesizer, which he used to write various short pieces, and took interest in game music after hearing the main menu theme for Shadow of the Beast, which led to Deriviere taking advanced harmony and orchestration courses.
[1] Deriviere received training at the Nice Conservatoire and Berklee College of Music, and made his debut in the game industry with the soundtrack for Obscure.
Deriviere sought to reflect the game's theme of digitized memories by manipulating the recordings of a live orchestra, giving the impression of synthesized and acoustic instruments.
[6] In 2020, Deriviere served as the lead composer for Streets of Rage 4, with additional music by Yuzo Koshiro, Motohiro Kawashima, Yoko Shimomura, Keiji Yamagishi, Harumi Fujita, XL Middleton, Scattle, Das Mörtal, and Groundislava.
