By Inon Zur
I started composing for video games in 1997. At the time nobody really knew what music for games is. Nor did they realize that there are actually real composers behind it. This area was very limited and unexplored.
It gave me a tremendous opportunity to do things that were never done before. For example for my first game I decided to record real orchestra and real choir, which was almost unheard of in those days. Lucky for me the game team was very open for these kinds of ideas and actually adjusted the game audio engine accordingly.
It taught me a very important lesson. Always try to think outside the box. There are always new areas that are unexplored and ready for you to discover.
As a composer I always try to find the balance between what I know will work and then some new and innovative experiments. I always try to find new ways even in fields that seems like there is nothing new to do that was not done in the past.
Reinventing yourself every day as a composer is probably one of the hardest tasks but I believe that this is almost the only way to keep being in demand.
