Breaking Pandora - Tiger Woods PGA Tour 11 OST

Breaking Pandora was featured on the Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2011 video game soundtrack. I was asked a couple times what the title meant when I turned over the score for integration; prior to the project I hadn't written much music and spent weeks listening to specific styles of music on Pandora Radio to get an idea of what to write for this game. The title was in reference to breaking free of just listening and finally writing a piece of music. Perhaps the greatest inspiration for this score was Kate Bush's "Running Up that Hill" that gave me the idea for the heavy cadence rhythm track (created with Reaktor's Limelight).

The prominent synth used in this cue was one called Zeta that is a VST for Sonar. This synthesizer offered up some beautiful pads and running arpeggios. The string section was created with the Miroslav sample library. The main piano was from NI Kontakt.

Of all the tracks I wrote for the Tiger game, this one I feel was the most haunting; it's melody and soundscape remind me of old school Tangerine Dream tracks.
As with the other tracks on my portfolio, they are part of EA so I am not allowed to sell them or provide a download link. Feel free to enjoy the track here anytime though or share the link with your friends.

Definitely my favorite piece of music on Tiger Woods 2011.

the part 0:30 ++ reminds me altittle of the mirrors edge theme and for some reason of transformers

[DamianHowardTV]

@Quuob Yeah, I was just about to type/say that. It does remind me a lot of Transformers: RoTF/Linkin Park - New Divide in many aspects. But definately the best theme on the Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2011 game by far!
