Award-winning composer Garry Schyman does score for BioShock
Publisher 2K Games and developer Irrational Games today announced that the music score for its upcoming Xbox 360 and Games for Windows title BioShock was provided by highly-acclaimed Garry Schyman. The composer has received awards for his work on video games Voyeur and Destroy All Humans among others.
“From his ability to produce and compose amazingly unique orchestral recordings, all the meanwhile perfectly accommodating the peaks and troughs of game development, Garry really deserves all the praise he gets for the BioShock soundtrack and then some,” commented Irrational Games Audio Director Emily Ridgway.
Based on the composer’s previous creations, we can’t help but agree that BioShock and Schyman are quite a pair. Given the title’s gameplay and plot, we believe that fans would be hearing music that is oftentimes chillingly ominous and at other times deeply beautiful and poignant.
“BioShock is a composer’s dream project. I have never been offered such a unique palette to write for. I really pushed myself to create a score that truly complements the extraordinary experience of BioShock and Irrational Games supported me all the way. I even had the opportunity to write a solo piano work in the style of late Rachmaninoff,” said Garry Schyman.
