<P> The music for the 2013 action - adventure survival horror video game The Last of Us , developed by Naughty Dog and published by Sony Computer Entertainment , was composed by musician Gustavo Santaolalla . Supplementary music for the game 's downloadable content The Last of Us : Left Behind was composed by Santaolalla , Andrew Buresh , Anthony Caruso and Jonathan Mayer . Both soundtracks were produced by Santaolalla , Mayer , and Aníbal Kerpel , with separate segments recorded in both Los Angeles and Nashville . Santaolalla , known for his minimalist approach to composing , was excited to work on the soundtrack due to the game 's focus on the characters and story . He began composing the music early in the game 's development , with few instructions from the development team on the tone that they intended . In collaboration with each other , the team and Santaolalla aimed to make the soundtrack emotional , as opposed to scary . Santaolalla used various instruments to compose the score , including some that were unfamiliar to him . </P>
