Mass Effect Original Soundtrack
From Mass Effect Wiki
(Redirected from Soundtrack)
Mass Effect Original Soundtrack was released on November 20, 2007. It was composed by Jack Wall and Sam Hulick with additional music by Richard Jacques and David Kates. The song that plays over the final credits, "M4 Part II", was written by Faunts, who are from Edmonton, Alberta (where Mass Effect was developed at BioWare's main studio).
According to the press release it is inspired by classic sci-fi movies such as Blade Runner and Dune. The score blends 80's electronic music with modern orchestral scoring.
From the earliest stages of its conception, Mass Effect was meant to be an original artwork about the future, inspired by the great science fiction experiences of the past. This synthesis of originality and familiarity called for a truly unique soundtrack, with ambitious goals and unprecedented challenges. - Casey Hudson, Project Director for Mass Effect.
Several compositions are missing from the soundtrack, including
- the initial music aboard the Normandy before Eden Prime
- the Virmire assault / rescuing Tali music
- the 'completion sound' after finishing the Scan the Keepers assignment
- the background music on Ilos (the 'Ilos' track is actually the music from the game's many derelict spacecraft).
