Gustavo Santaolalla composed the soundtracks for Brokeback Mountain and Babel .

His music has become just as crucial a presence as that of The Last of Us .

Santaolla ’s sonic secret? Embracing the eloquence of silence.

“I work so much with silence and space, because silences sometimes can be louder than a note that you’re playing,” he says.

Gustavo Santaolalla is invigorated by what The Last Of Us has given him at this stage in his career.

The 73-year-old is releasing his very own instrument - the Guitarocko .

The Bolivian musician says he feels a father-like pride for his musical creation.
