"We've just announced our team of composers for ME3! Head over to our facebook to meet the team and hear a teaser!"


t.co/Dww9Cu7h
Link doesn't work unless you have a Facebook account soo...

We're officially announcing our team of talented composers who have played a critical role in Mass Effect 3's musical development, with direction by our audio team. The roster of composers for Mass Effect 3 includes:

• Clint Mansell, Golden Globe nominatedHollywood composer recognized for scoring celebrated films including Black Swan, The Wrestler and Requiem for a Dream.

• Christopher Lennertz, Emmy nominated Hollywood composer known for his work on the recent movie Horrible Bosses, also composed Mass Effect 2: Overlord, Mass Effect 2: Lair of the Shadow Broker, and won the Interactive Academy Award for Medal of Honor.

• Cris Velasco, known for composing the God of War series’ score, has also worked on downloadable content Mass Effect 2: Kasumi and Mass Effect 2: Arrival.

• Sam Hulick, veteran to the Mass Effect series having composed the score for Mass Effect, Mass Effect: Bring Down the Sky and Mass Effect 2.

• Sascha Dikiciyan, video game industry veteran, known for composing the score for TRON: Evolution and the scores of Mass Effect 2: Kasumi and Mass Effect 2: Arrival.

“The magic of BioWare games has always been the emotional power of the story, so music is extremely important to the experience,” said Casey Hudson, Executive Producer of the Mass Effect series. “With Mass Effect 3, we’re taking players on a more personal journey, even though the scope is bigger than ever – an all-out galactic war! Each composer has played an intricate role in delivering the combination of epic scope and delicate emotion that will make Mass Effect 3 the best game in the series.”

Listen to the teaser music and let us know what you think about this great team!

Sam Hulick is back baby!

"That would be Clint's theme."

"Too true, but remember the "New Worlds" cut on the ME2 album release? That version's great, mixed in texture from TIM's theme."

"True, but it's a subtle remix. I dunno, we'll see."

"So I'm about 2 or 3 minutes away from wrapping up my chunk of the #ME3 score. Just a couple tunes, then some revision work. ALMOST DONE!"

I hope they let him use this piece too *crosses fingers*

I wondered why Sam was suddenly logged on to BSN yesterday. Maybe he was checking if BioWare had already posted the announcement.

Impressive list, but I'm missing two important names. First and foremost Rob Blake, Bioware's own Audio Lead.

And Jesse James Allen.

Fun fact: Jesse James Allen found out his track was in ME2 from YouTube. He then cleaned up and posted a version of the track to his Bandcamp account, which you can purchase for $1 and thoroughly enjoy:

Also, some more Rob Blake from Twitter:

@jkohlmann We reference old pieces and themes where it fits but the vast majority is original as there's a lot more emotion and depth in ME3

See ? It's the same

And bought! Awesome remix. Well worth the $1. Really the first thing I'm gonna do once I get the Normandy in ME3 is race towards Omega, hope its still in one piece and do the Shepard shuffle in Afterlife.

Edit: Another fun fact to read about this song:

I am the composer of this music cue and this version was made from the original master recording.

So for you Mass Effect 2 Fans here is perhaps one of the oddest "making of stories" you will hear. This track "Lo Fi Epic" was actually composed for the EA Sports Arena Football game in February of 2006 but never saw the light of day, hitting the cutting room floor after a producer nixed it for being "Too Techno" . The track went into the music archives and lived on the main server network for years.

Fast forward to 2010 when I was sitting down with my new copy of Mass Effect 2. I am a huge Mass Effect fan, I had played through version 1 many times. So one can only imagine my reaction when I walked into the lower level of "Club Afterlife" and heard this track... At first I said "hummm that sounds very familiar" then it hit me "Holy crap I wrote that!".

Sadly I was not credited in the game for this piece of music but neither was:

Saki Kaskas - Callista - Upper Club Afterlife (Originally used in Need For Speed Hot Pursuit)

John Morgan - Happiness - Dark Star Lounge

Comaduster - To Hide To Seek - Eternity Bar

This story got even crazier when I Googled the name of the ME2 planet this music was found on, there was a user on You Tube that had extracted the file from the PC version of the game and identified me as the composer; his video had over 100,000 views with many comments about who wrote it and where they could find it. EA Traxx or whoever passed along the cue to Bioware renamed the track "The Techno Madness Mix" but had left my name in file name or metadata.

I had actually met the sound design team for Mass Effect up in Canada during a sound design for video game meeting; Simon Pressy the Mass Effect audio director and I talked at length during that meeting, I expressed my interest and support for their projects. While working on Warhammer I even helped produced some sounds for their games to use. So I can't say I don't know how this all happened but in my wildest dreams I would have never imagined Lo Fi Epic making it into Mass Effect 2 much less the fans reaction to this track (Thank you all). I even got an email from the Mass Effects' main composer Jack Wall that stated he heard so many good things from fans about "Lo Fi Epic" (Of course I am in awe of Jacks score for the game).

Hearing "Lo Fi Epic" in game reminds me of the days when I use to have acetates cut of my music and taking it to clubs. That feeling of watching hundreds of people dance to something I created was beyond words... this track in Mass Effect immortalized that feeling for me. Anyway that is the crazy story of Lo Fi Epic and Mass Effect 2.

Due to the license I was under when I composed the original version I can't offer a download link but feel free to listen to it here and check out all my other original music I have posted on my you tube channel.

Hey Vertigo, can you ask if this piece will be in ME3. He said that it would be in ME3 if he was composing, but that was before we knew he was coming back:

So it was in High stakes after all! That was the first thing that came to mind when I heard it, but I couldn't find it somehow, heh, thanks for posting...Love that game.

I would actually like a change in galaxy-map music, I like the idea of it evolving along with the games, but if it doesn't change...It's awesome as it is too.

I think the composer list was the surprise that was supposedly for Saturday, the same day as the BioWare party where shenanigans erupted.  So that is a possibility.  

I love what I have been/am hearing so far.  Can't wait to hear the finished product.
