Behind The Score – When Killzone 2 Took Over Abbey Road
Welcome back. You're a regular here, so why not follow us on Twitter too...
In November 2008 Joris de Man took Killzone 2 to Abbey Road.
He asked independent producers Open Book to document his experience and in the film Joris tells us how he has made the music for Killzone over the years.
Learn where in the world the Helghast March was born, the somewhat unusual instruments used in the Killzone 2 score and the amazing talent behind it all.
Don’t think that the lengthy history of the famed Abbey Road Studio is lost on Joris or the team behind the recording process; in fact it was a source of inspiration and drive for everyone involved.
Prepare yourself for the rather lengthy ‘Behind The Score’ feature video; you may gain an entirely new appreciation not only for the musical score of Killzone 2, but in videogames in general.
Here’s a challenge for you audiophiles out there: before watching the video, can you recognize which Killzone game used MIDI sequencing and which one used a live orchestra for the score? Here’s a fun fact, only one of them used both.
Nice find Danny! The number of people involved behind the scenes always amazes me. I wonder what the final production cost was for KZ2.
Great music in KZ2. Nice article Danny.
It is just so amazing how so many people can pull something all together like this. I have a friend that plays an instrument professionally. Now, I sort of understand how that translates into how he makes his living more clearly.
That weird neighbor with the violin could potentially be working on one of our favorite videogames.
It is truly amazing.
