I messaged Don a few weeks ago asking how the application process went, and got this in reply.

dfmuse:

"Hi They hired myself and Jeff Broadbent as the composers for Planetside 2. We are getting a budget for live orchestra and I'll be using key players that worked on Battlestar Galactica_Taikos,guitars and dudek. I am very excited!"

I normaly complain about allmost everything what SOE does but I have to say that SOE has done this Time something right!

Don is amazing and that they will use a Live Orchester for this makes me really Happy!
100% Positive that atleast the Music will Rock in PS2!

That is what I thought as well. Don Ferrone equals pushing the win button.

PSU thread about PS2 Music

Is Andy Sites still producing the score for PS2?

This first track makes me think a classic country western artist, a Ravi Shankar disciple and a Gregorian Monk all got together and laid down a track.

pumped to hear there will be a live orchestra. IMO, the one thing that held back the original PS music was the artificial sounding instruments. There's just no substitute for the dynamics and spaciousness of real instruments in a good sounding room.

Having Don back means I will keep the music on in the background. Great news!!!

sylphaen · 2012-04-01, 02:16 PM

Thanks you very much, Higby !

I'd never to that usually but...

KALU · 2012-04-01, 10:30 PM

GREAT!!! idea cant wait to hear the new sounds of Planetside 2!!!!

"live orchestra" = WIN

I envy Higby, imagine if it was your HIGH PAID job to sit in your office and chill out listening to music themes, and just try and think of improvements you want.

Mental.

Having concentrated on music when I play video games and having played Halo and loving its soundtrack that Don Ferrone vid at the start sounds very similar to Halo and past 2:19 it sounds very Matrix maybe Deus Ex kinda with Halo mixed back in past 3:37 it's 2 games and 1 movie in 1 song.

Knocky · 2012-04-02, 05:33 AM

I would have preferred a week of new screenshots (preferably the MAXes or the Lightning) and information about GAMEPLAY then a week of music that a great many people will be turning off anyway.

Anyway, as always it is up to the Devs/SOE as to what is released.

Can't wait to hear more PS2 music! This is an excellent idea, OP.

If you guys haven't listened to all the PS2 tracks in a while, go back and browse PlanetSideMusic's videos. Great stuff all around:
