BioWare and Infogrames announce the music man behind the upcoming epic Dungeons & Dragons role playing game
BioWare Corp. and Infogrames
Entertainment are thrilled to announce they will be joining forces with award-winning
composer Jeremy Soule, who will create the soundtrack for Neverwinter Nights, the
electronic role-playing game based on the Dungeons & Dragons properties from Wizards of
the Coast, a subsidiary of Hasbro, Inc. We are delighted to be working so closely with a
composer of Jeremy’s stature, said Alan Miranda, BioWare’s Audio Producer for Neverwinter
Nights.
In Neverwinter Nights, music is such a vital aspect of the game. It supports the
epic nature of the adventure while simultaneously enveloping the gamer, submerging them
into the sounds and atmosphere of our Dungeons & Dragons world. Miranda adds.
It has been a great experience all around working with the brilliant developers at
BioWare on this revolutionary RPG, said Soule.
Composing for the epic-adventure realm is
something I've always enjoyed and Neverwinter Nights, with its advanced game playing
features, has given me the opportunity to incorporate some exciting musical touches such as
giving each environment a tuneful persona that the player can manipulate.
Jeremy Soule’s award-winning, orchestral soundtracks have elevated the standard of
music in the seven billion dollar video game industry to a level previously limited to the
motion picture genre. His dynamic compositions reveal a natural ability to create powerful
and engaging music using both live instruments and proprietary synthesizers which he
masterfully directs to emulate the sound of a 100-piece orchestra.
Soule’s creativity and
cutting-edge approach to composition is evident in his original scores for titles like
Total Annihilation, Icewind Dale and Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, recently
nominated for the Academy of Interactive Arts &
Original Music Composition award. His work has been applauded time and time again by some
of the world’s most prominent music and entertainment industry professionals.
