High profile music composer Inon Zur was commissioned to create the original soundtrack for Fallout 3, the upcoming highly anticipated action-RPG from Bethesda.

“We’ve wanted to work with Inon for a long time,” said Todd Howard executive producer of Fallout 3. “He brings so much to the table, in terms of his talent, background, and the music that’s influenced him. He’s created a score that has epic sweep; from the lonely ambience of the wasteland to dramatic fights for survival.”

“Fallout 3 is one of the most engaging and demanding projects I’ve scored,” said Inon Zur. “It was very rewarding to put all my creative energy into supporting Bethesda’s vision for the game. I’m very proud of the outcome, and look forward to sharing the music with the players.”

Zur has quite a huge portfolio, having worked on a number of best-selling video games, as well as Hollywood film trailers, CGI movies and symphony concerts.

Fallout 3 lets players create any sort of character they want and explore the open-ended world of post-apocalyptic Washington DC, facing off against mutants, ghouls, raiders and other such dangers. The game is due out this Fall on PC, PS3 and Xbox 360.
