If you happened to catch the trailer for Fallout 4 [2], which we’re going to guess is a majority of you, then you’ve already heard a sample of the music for the new game. Composer Inon Zur has been writing music for the Fallout series since 2001, beginning with Fallout Tactics. Naturally, he has continued that role for Bethesda’s next entry in the Fallout series. While working on the soundtrack of Fallout 4, Zur has performed and recorded a solo piano arrangement of the game’s main theme.
A new Fallout 4 blog post [3] by Gary Steinman goes into more detail about Inon Zur’s process of creating music for the world of Fallout 4. Like previous Fallout soundtracks, classical instruments will not be the only sources of music. Other sources will include electronic instruments, ethnic/primitive instruments, and other less traditional sources of sound. It’s a fascinating read for those interested in the development of the game and its music.
Fallout 4 will be launching on November 10th for PC, XBox One, and PlayStation 4.
