Read more on the game’s music and why THQ VP Kevin Kraff thinks he’s perfect for the job.
Destroy All Humans! Path of the Furon (PS3, Xbox 360) gets a fantastic 70’s score, thanks to award-winning composer Garry Schyman. His excellence has given him numerous distinctions, such as the Interactive Achievement Award for “Outstanding Achievement in Original Music Composition” from the Academy of Interactive Arts and Sciences, and the prestigious “Music of the Year” award from the Game Audio Network Guild Awards.
Says Schyman on working with DAH3:
The idea for DAH3 was to continue the approach set in DAH1 and DAH2 as though I was a film composer writing in that period. Of course wah wah guitar is slathered throughout because it was so ubiquitous and influential. Personally this is my favorite of the three DAH scores. I love this style of music!
THQ VP for global brand management Kevin Kraff thinks that they got the perfect guy for the job. “Following his critically acclaimed original scores for DAH1 and DAH2, Garry was the perfect match to create the music for Destroy All Humans! Path of the Furon. Not only do we trust Garry’s creativity to capture our vision for the franchise, but his unique skillset and bold repertoire is a natural conduit that truly connects and immerses the player.”
Some gamers don’t realize it, but having an excellent musical score adds so much to a game. In many ways, the music takes a player into the game itself. Good thing for the DAH franchise, Garry Schyman takes players along for the ride. The wait won’t be long, Destroy All Humans! Path of the Furon is out on December 1st.
