Clint Mansell Will Write The Score For Mass Effect 3
Clint Mansell, the composer of such films as “Black Swan” releasing this year, is on board to compose the score for Mass Effect 3.
Mansell was quoted in an interview for a website called Badass Digest, and announced that, “I’m doing a video game this year actually, Mass Effect 3.”
When asked about composing music for video games, Mansell said:
“As I was saying about Public Enemy and re-working old hip-hop tunes for Requiem, and kind of re-working old ballet tunes for Black Swan, with something like Mass Effect you’re more like a DJ, with all these elements. 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.”
This is great news, as Mansell is regarded as one of the best composers in the film industry. Some would say that his involvement in Mass Effect 3 will make for the biggest gaming experience we will have all year.
