WILL THE ALMIGHTY Posted November 4, 2009 Posted November 4, 2009 Considering I listen to a lot of game soundtracks, I'd like to know who's doing the music for Alpha Protocol. Also, how awesome is the music? "Alright, I've been thinking. When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade - make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don't want your damn lemons, what am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life's manager. Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons. Do you know who I am? I'm the man who's gonna burn your house down! With the lemons. I'm going to to get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!"
Perseus Veil Posted November 4, 2009 Posted November 4, 2009 Jason Graves. I don't remember if there are other composers (Alex Brandon???).
Pop Posted November 4, 2009 Posted November 4, 2009 Alexander Brandon, who scored Jazz Jackrabbit, Deus Ex, and the first few Unreals, along with many other games, composed much of the music while he was still Audio Director at Obsidian (he has since moved on to less expensive parts of the US) As for licensed music, I know trance schlockmeister BT is contributing a track. The theme music was apparently composed by some famous movie guy. I don't know who it is, I don't know if that's been released yet. There was an AP soundtrack that was leaked / released at some point. Example. Join me, and we shall make Production Beards a reality!
Gorth Posted November 4, 2009 Posted November 4, 2009 I am going to be very disappointed if there isn't a few "hits of the eighties" in there “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would surely suffice.” - Albert Einstein
Raithe Posted November 4, 2009 Posted November 4, 2009 Have to be careful which way you go.. the score of a game, or the soundtrack of known music that's put in the game.. But a nice game score can be great to have on in the background.. "Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum."
Meshugger Posted November 4, 2009 Posted November 4, 2009 It is really sad that Alexander Brandon left (the main contributor to Alpha Protocol's soundtrack IIRC). His compositions for Unreal 1, Unreal Tourment and Deus Ex greatly elevated your gaming experience. "Some men see things as they are and say why?""I dream things that never were and say why not?"- George Bernard Shaw"Hope in reality is the worst of all evils because it prolongs the torments of man."- Friedrich Nietzsche "The amount of energy necessary to refute bull**** is an order of magnitude bigger than to produce it." - Some guy

WILL THE ALMIGHTY Posted November 4, 2009 Author Posted November 4, 2009 There was an AP soundtrack that was leaked / released at some point. Example. Ooh, that's good. I was wondering if they'd get the same person who made TSL's soundtrack, which would have been good, but to be honest I prefer Deus Ex's soundtrack by far. "Alright, I've been thinking.

kreese12 Posted November 5, 2009 Posted November 5, 2009 Deus Ex's soundtrack was quite good. Like the rest of that amazing game.

His TSL soundtrack was in a league of its own. I hope Obsidian gets the chance to make use of his talents again some day “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

I hope Obsidian gets the chance to make use of his talents again some day Look, I loved some songs, especially near the end of the game ( The rebuilt enclave scene was incredibly touching if only because of that soundtrack ) but most of them weren't anything special. I think I got sick of Nar Shadaa's music to the point of turning it off. "Alright, I've been thinking. When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade - make life take the lemons back! Get mad!

It was used in the character creation screen and the Exile's Trial scene and yes, it is one of the great songs in the game. "Alright, I've been thinking.

Nepenthe Posted November 5, 2009 Posted November 5, 2009 Mark Griskey. His TSL soundtrack was in a league of its own. I hope Obsidian gets the chance to make use of his talents again some day Same here, and I also dug the rebuilt enclave theme a lot. I believe he's (still) the Lucasarts in-house composer, and did the Force Unleashed score. (Which I have to describe as forgettable, since I can literally remember nothing of it) You're a cheery wee bugger, Nep. Have I ever said that? Reapercussions
vault_overseer Posted November 5, 2009 Posted November 5, 2009 I'm gonna have Bourne soundtracks play thorough at least one of my playthroughs. Especially this track: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1RgFv-tPbFY
Matthew Rorie Posted November 5, 2009 Posted November 5, 2009 I don't think we have made an official announcement about composers, but I know it's on Sega's list of things to do. Matthew Rorie
Morgoth Posted November 5, 2009 Posted November 5, 2009 Any chance we get to listen to the main theme as a free download? So that we just get an idea about the mood. Rain makes everything better.

I personally would love for that to happen, but it's not something we can do without talking to Sega. At the very least, I would hope that it would be streamable on alphaprotocol.com at some point.

Oner Posted November 5, 2009 Posted November 5, 2009 Here's hoping they agree. Giveaway list: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1DgyQFpOJvyNASt8A12ipyV_iwpLXg_yltGG5mffvSwo/edit?usp=sharing What is glass but tortured sand?Never forget! '12.01.13.
Skizo Posted November 14, 2009 Posted November 14, 2009 John Williams and the entire Berlin Philarmonical Orchestra!
WILL THE ALMIGHTY Posted December 14, 2009 Author Posted December 14, 2009 You should hire Hans Zimmer or Harry Gregson Williams. I mean... it won't happen, but I can dream, right? "Alright, I've been thinking. When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade - make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don't want your damn lemons, what am I supposed to do with these?

Morgoth Posted December 17, 2009 Posted December 17, 2009 Hans Zimmer actually did the soundtrack for Modern Warfare 2. But then again, Activision has seemingly an unlimited budget... Rain makes everything better.
Kelverin Posted December 18, 2009 Posted December 18, 2009 At least give us a tease of Thorton's theme song. What do you mean he doesn't have one? J1 Visa Southern California Cleaning
Pop Posted December 18, 2009 Posted December 18, 2009 Hans Zimmer actually did the soundtrack for Modern Warfare 2. But then again, Activision has seemingly an unlimited budget... Far as I'm aware, the pro composer for AP is only making one main song, which will then have variations made from it by in-house dudes. So they could probably afford a Name.
