Codemasters has released a behind-the-scenes video that provides a unique insight into the orchestral recording of Michael Giacchino's evocative score for Turning Point: Fall of Liberty, the upcoming alternate-reality WWII FPS, currently in development at Spark Unlimited.
In the video Giacchino, whose credits include the television series Lost, game soundtracks for the Medal of Honor and Call of Duty franchises, and feature films such as Mission Impossible III, The Incredibles and Ratatouille, describes his inspiration and ambitions for the game's musical themes.
"In scoring the soundtrack, it was all about finding the emotional centre of the game, which is the story," explains Michael Giacchino.
"To present an America that we recognise but in an altered reality setting, we changed the make up of the orchestra and removed trumpets from the brass section. In a traditional WWII game or movie, trumpets are used to give an American flavour. However, to mirror Turning Point's major theme, we have stripped that layer of Americana away."
Delivering a dynamic soundtrack that intensifies major gameplay events, such as the invasion of New York by the Nazi forces, Giacchino's score was performed by the 76-piece Hollywood Studio Orchestra and recorded at the Warner Bros. Studios in Burbank, California.
"Michael has created a series of truly evocative pieces that challenges WWII-themed soundtrack preconceptions; this fits to our alternate-reality subject matter perfectly" said Scott Langteau, Chief Operating Officer of Spark Unlimited.
"It's a fantastic primal score, full of chaos and energy and Michael's use of staccato sounds delivers an incredible level of intensity throughout."
Turning Point: Fall of Liberty is coming early in 2008 for the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, the PLAYSTATION 3 computer entertainment system and Games for Windows.
