music + games @09:44 AM
Just read that the new Splinter Cell game will feature music by Amon Tobin, a noted and respected DJ / sound guy whose stuff I always thought would be quite perfect for video games b/c of their subtly fractured nature. anyway, it got me thinking about how this is probably something that seems will become ubiquitous in the near future of games. As was discussed last night with dan winters, getting named talent is a huge part of publishing these days, and getting composers that come from the DJ / electronic world, the film world (Where is John Williams, Hans Zimmer...), and even, esp. for sports games, etc., your rockers and rappers, will be I think a big trend that has already started, but will probably only get larger.

Amon Tobin and a handful of other Ninja Tune artists were featured on the soundtrack of some extreme(!) sports game on Dreamcast several years back, but I don't think it was ever released outside of Europe. But those were licensed tracks... this (original score) is pretty unprecendeted. Very cool!

Happened with Reznor on Quake and Doom. Chris Vrenna can't get mentioned without mention of Trent it seems.
C'mon Thom, jump in the ring with your mates.
