Как говорит Олег Кашин, «а почитайте свежего меня!». На самом деле не только меня, "50+ главных саундтреков 2012" писали семь человек — текст очень большой. В этом году мы публиковали материал по частям четыре недели (отчасти из-за особо любознательных товарищей, проматывающих текст, чтобы сразу посмотреть победителя), а ещё дико заморочились с крутой вёрсткой. Правда, большие тексты в интернете всё равно никто не читает, поэтому мы все писали из доброй традиции и для поддержания статуса, так сказать.

Собственно, вот.

В ходе долгих поисков и изнурительного мозгового штурма редакция Game-OST.ru выбрала чуть…

В этом году выйдет много игр, много хороших игр, много хороших игр с хорошей музыкой. Batman: Arkham City, Bionic Commando Rearmed 2, inFamous 2, Diablo III, Gears of War 3, Resistance 3, Rage, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, The Witcher 2, Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception – и это только часть огромного списка самых ожидаемых и самых многообещающих проектов.

Однако с музыкой перечисленных выше игр всё предёльно ясно и предсказуемо. Например, в Diablo III будет традиционно мощный оркестровый саундтрек от целого вороха композиторов из музыкального департамента Blizzard, однако на появление легендарного Мэтта Ульмена рассчитывать не стоит – музыкант давно покинул компанию.…

We have special guests at Game-OST today. Hollywood movie composers Klaus Badelt and Ian Honeyman were able to discuss with us their approach to Motorstorm: Apocalypse soundtrack.

Klaus Badelt most known by soundtrack for the Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of The Black Pearl. Actually, there are about 60 soundtracks which he wrote and many of them you are surely heard. For example, Equilibrium, Constantine, Ultraviolet and Time Machine. Ian Honeymonn helps Klaus as technical assistant and also writes additional music for their projects. Further, he has solo works as composer for TV.

So, let’s move to the interview!…

No more symphonic minimalism, abstract soft keyboards or female operatic vocals – all romance completely dried up. In Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood (the continuation of Assassin's Creed 2) the central figure Ezio Auditore is no longer an emotional young man, experiencing the death of the family. He appears now as the master of the Assassins, and his main mission - revenge. Bloody-grim stories of Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood do no longer need the full of femininity musical matter, atmospheric ambient and flowing melodies, peacefully outspreaded over Florence and Venice of the Renaissance - the place and time of Assassin's Creed 2. Heroes…

Cartoon Legend of the Guardians filmed on the same book of Kathryn Lasky, is primarily known for its legendary director - Zach «This is Sparta!» Snyder. Well, nobody would ever imagine Zach is not only makes animated cartoon for children but does it without brutal scenes, blood and gibs. And no man were detected - Legends tells only about the various spices of owls and its derivatives.

Perfectionist Snyder has enriched a picture not only a miraculous image, (which is often compared to "Avatar"), but also a magical soundtrack. In return to “staff” Tyler Bates, who worked on previous Zach’s…

Not every game receives live symphonic soundtrack. Not every live soundtrack recorded in Seattle by well-known Northwest Sinfonia whose works (World of Warcraft, Dragon Age: Origins, Halo, Gears of War, Medal of Honor) are known to every gamer. And not every helicopter game receives such kind of soundtrack.

We thought you might interested in how this happened with Apache: Air Assault so, take a seat and fasten your seat belt!

Hey Jason, two years have passed since the original Dead Space release, now the second part is on the way to customers. The game takes place on orbital station The Sprawl and, thanks to the Red Marker, Isaac now has a serious mental injury. How did all this affect the music and where did soundtrack evolve?

Having the game take place in a setting so different gave me a chance to have the score reflect the same ideas as the game. We’re now in a much bigger setting, and I wanted the music to reflect that. The original Dead Space…

… Mona Mur, a German star of industrial music scene and extravagant singer, composer and sound-designer from Berlin. She is like unexpected and interesting godsend, especially when Jesper Kyd (a composer whose name had become famous due to IO Interactive games) couldn’t take part in this project (too dense schedule? too small budget for soundtrack?) Everything made by Mona for Dog Days is not a music, but industrial-terroristic sound collage, and it perfectly fits to game with hard and dirty atmosphere…
