D’Oliveira’s La Hacienda Creative is located in the former RCA Victor studio, where he holds a massive collection of instruments from all over the world. Making the music for Shadow of the Tomb Raider, a musical high point of the series, allowed him to collect even more pieces to his collection in the span of 4 years, such as Aztec death whistles and volcanic rocks.
