Fallout 3 To Feature Original Soundtrack By Award-Winning Composer Inon Zur

Fallout 3 To Feature Original Soundtrack By Award-Winning Composer Inon Zur
Written Wednesday, May 07, 2008 by Geoff White

May 7, 2008 (Rockville, MD) - Bethesda Softworks®, a ZeniMax Media company, announced today that Inon Zur has created the original musical score for Bethesda Softworks’ highly anticipated post-apocalyptic video game, Fallout® 3. Zur, an award-winning composer, has created numerous scores for films, television, and new media.

“We’ve wanted to work with Inon for a long time,” said Todd Howard executive producer of Fallout 3. “He brings so much to the table, in terms of his talent, background, and the music that’s influenced him. He’s created a score that has epic sweep; from the lonely ambience of the wasteland to dramatic fights for survival.”

Fallout 3 features one of the most realized game worlds ever created. Create any kind of character you want and explore the open wastes of post-apocalyptic Washington, D.C. Every minute is a fight for survival as you encounter Super Mutants, Ghouls, Raiders, and other dangers of the Wasteland.

“Fallout 3 is one of the most engaging and demanding projects I've scored,” said Inon Zur. “It was very rewarding to put all my creative energy into supporting Bethesda's vision for the game. I’m very proud of the outcome, and look forward to sharing the music with the players."

In addition to scoring a number of best-selling video games, Zur’s music has been featured in many high-profile projects including Hollywood film trailers, network television productions, CGI movies, and symphony concerts. Most recently, Zur has composed music for CBS’ ‘Ghost Whisperer: The Other Side’ TV webisode series as well as the Marvel Kids webisodes for ‘IRON MAN’.

Currently under development at Bethesda Game Studios – creators of award-winning The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion®, the 2006 Game of the Year – Fallout 3 is slated for release this Fall on Xbox 360®video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system, and Games for Windows.

Oblivion had a good soundtrack and hopefully with the add on of Inon Zur they can really capture that 30s/40s feel in the game.

Not familiar with his work but my favorite game/TV/movie score composers are definitely Nobuo Uematsu (Final Fantasy), Yoshihisa Hirano and Hideki Taniuchi (Death Note), Hirokazu Tanaka / Keiichi Suzuki (Earthbound), and Yoko Kanno (Cowboy Bebop among others.)

This is going to be brilliant.

Raesvelgr - I'm guessing you are an original Fallout fan. Fair play, but it has to be said, change doesn't always equal bad. Bethesda are an awesome dev, and Zur is an awesome composer. How can such renouned and respected individuals working on the Fallout template possibly be a bad thing?

My personal feeling is that this could be one of the games of the year.
