Pyramind Studios is working with 343 Industries and Microsoft Studios on the Halo Anniversary soundtrack, and it sounds like they’re going all out. Pyramind Studios has been chosen to produce and remaster the original score Xbox 360 release scheduled for November 15th, 2011, and they’re doing it up big for this high-profile release.
The entire original score has been re-orchestrated. The players? Oh, it’s just the Skywalker Symphony Orchestra, who will be recording at the little ol’ Skywalker Ranch. The singing will be done by Chanticleer, a Grammy winning men’s vocal ensemble. These guys aren’t kidding around!
Microsoft Studios Senior Audio Director Kristofor Mellroth said:
This wasn’t just a simple remaster, it was a completely new orchestration and recording using renowned talent and top live players. We are striving to create the ultimate love letter to Halo fans, and celebrate Marty O’Donnell’s and Michael Salvatori’s original vision with grace and style.
With all of the work this team is putting into it, you can be sure that Halo Anniversary is going to sound really good.
