Sound Byte Interview: Dragon Age II Composer Inon Zur (PC, PS3, Xbox 360)

[ItIsTheInvisibleMan]

“EA really wanted to capitalize on the success of Origins, so the game was really being pushed hard to be released now.” Inon Zur, a professional train wreck watcher.

Wait what? Why are they handling this from a stand point of Dragon Age? Was this during some series when dragon age was in development? I mean he's composed for a lot of games, and I think it would be interesting to here a more of an overview.

[Aelkamal]

BG2: TOB > Conan's OST better leave and cry !

[irllcd13]

Jeremy Soule and Inon Zur are amazing.

[kerby200099]

his work on Fallout 3 made me hard

[karthikdivakaruni]

Of all is compositions, 'Rogue Heart' from DA2 is the best!! I never get tired of listening to that song.

[JohanEllwood]

One of greatest composers in the world, but still Jeremy Soule is better

[ditroiamusic]

Seems like a great guy and he's a very talented composer. 

[MusicMischief]

Fawk....I am going to play DA 2 again.....for the 4203947012 time : ( FenFennnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn­nnnn </3 ;~;

[bodo635]

His music is very exotic and unusual, like the country he comes from.

[Cainsgames]

Hes an awesome guy, ha made the music for a lot of games, including the fallout games, the dragon age series, crysis, siberia, baldurs gate and more. He is one of the best composers .

[StarFleetCommand3]

am i the only one that knows that this guy composed alot of music for star trek games

like Star Trek Starfleet Command Volume 2 - Empires of War and star trek new worlds to Star Trek Klingon Academy

[bluumberry]

He makes me grin. It's nice to see someone who knows their stuff and is passionate about it.

[sSiCkShOt93]

Without this guy, playin video games will be a drag :)

[aggron82]

0:30 that's what she said!

[sSiCkShOt93]

@aggron82

this comment made me laugh :')

[MattGibsonMusic]

Didn't Ion Zur write the music for Baldur's Gate or Icewind Dale or something?

[scavengedfantasyname]

@MattGibsonMusic

Only parts of them. In particular Icewind Dale 2 and Baldur's Gate 2 Throne of Bhaal (Addon). I liked both a lot, but I think Michael Hoenig of the original BG2 had a very unique and quaint sound (for example the track to Waukeens Promenade, Druid Grove, ...).

[MattGibsonMusic]

@scavengedfantasyname Ah I see, thanks man. I used to play the hell outta BG 1 and 2 when I was younger, I'll have Michael Hoenig burned into my brain for life

[Aldridge517]

I enjoyed watching this, keep em coming Gamespot :)

[CJ2GAME]

from Prince of Persia to Epic Crysis to Fallout games, he is 1 of my fav Music Composer

[scorpgul]

[Bleumange]

@scorpgul fag

[sSiCkShOt93]

@scorpgul

not really gay, hes just passionate about his work :/

[GenuinelyEvil]

Grate interview something I would expect from gamasutra not gamespot

[Olemguy]

Do not look at reddragon52894s spam marked comment. Possible DA II ending spoiler. Only read the first line luckily.

Anyway, Inon Zur is amazing, he's responsible for a lot of good memories from previous games. I'm looking forward to hear about the games he's currently composing.

[Eleft]
