Halo musical composer, formerly with Bungie is having a speaking engagement Sept. 17 at the Ohio State University!
Text reblogged from source link:
“An Evening with Marty O’Donnell” is co-sponsored by The Ohio State University School of Music and the Advanced Computing Center for Art and Design (ACCAD). This event is free and open to the public.
Martin (Marty) O’Donnell will share what it’s like to compose jingles for TV commercials and then work with the best video game developers in the world. Here’s the behind-the-scenes story of hiring monks to sing on a commercial for insurance and then hiring them to sing the theme to Halo.
He’ll also share some stories of working with folks like Peter Dinklage and Paul McCartney.
O’Donnell earned a master of music in composition with honors from USC. He then founded the Chicago-based commercial music and sound production company, TotalAudio, which in 1997 produced sound design for Cyan’s Riven, the sequel to Myst, and created all of the audio for Bungie’s award-winning Myth series. His body of work also includes numerous original scores for television, radio, and film.
Destiny is Bungie’s newest and most ambitious project to date. Marty and his long-time writing partner Mike Salvatori have teamed up with Sir Paul McCartney to work on all new music. The first fruit of this collaboration is called Music of the Spheres, an eight-movement orchestral / choral suite recorded at Abbey Road Studios.
This is located in Columbus, Ohio. You can check the location HERE.
I wish I could say I was going to this. However, being a few hours away and not having a secured seat, I don’t want to risk wasting that much gas only to be turned away from the event.
