Hollywood composer Clint Mansell has been picked to compose the music for BioWare’s third entry in the Mass Effect series. In an interview with The Quietus, he was asked directly whether or not he had ever worked on a videogame. “I’m doing a video game this year actually. Mass Effect 3.” He later elaborated on how he views composing for games. “With something like Mass Effect you’re more like a DJ,” he said. “You’ve got the holding pattern, then the big explosion where you need the score to kick in. Then you need to take it off on a tangent. You’ve got all these different elements that change depending on what the player does. You have to figure out an overall symphony, but be able to break it down into component parts. You can bring the pain when required.”  Clint Mansell’s portfolio include Requiem for a Dream (2000), Knockaround Guys (2001), Suspect Zero (2004), Moon (2009), and Black Swan (2010). |
