Mass Effect 3 to Get Hollywood Composers
Posted 4:15 pm on Tuesday, December 20th, 2011 by John "Spartan" NguyenBioWare has recruited two Hollywood composers, Clint Mansell and Christopher Lennertz, to help score Mass Effect 3 with veteran Mass Effect composers like Cris Velasco, Sascha Dikiciyan, and Sam Hulick (one of my favorite Mass Effect composer).
Clint Mansell is known for composing Requiem for a Dream, The Fountain, Black Swan, and The Wrestler. He’s one of my favorite composers. Below is “Lux Aeterna” from Reqiuem for a Dream. The whole track is awesome, but it starts to pick up at the 3 minute mark.
It was also used in the Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers trailer starting at the 1:30 mark. Can you say epic?
And here’s “Death is the Road to Awe” from The Fountain. My favorite part starts at the 4:00 mark. Just imagine this in a Mass Effect soundtrack.
Next up joining Mass Effect is Hollywood composer Christopher Lennertz. He worked on Horrible Bosses Soul Plane, Meet the Spartans, and Hop. Don’t let those movies fool you, since he’s worked on games like Medal of Honor and is a veteran Mass Effect composer. Check out his track, “Dogs of War”, from Medal of Honor: European Assault.
Sam Hulick is one of my favorite Mass Effect composers. He helped composed Mass Effect’s “Main Theme”, “Normandy”, “Vigil”, and “Uncharted Worlds”.
