One very cool part of my job on Sword Coast Legends is that I get to be a part of its score’s creation process. We chose Inon Zur, the BAFTA-nominated composer, to score SCL because of his long pedigree in the RPG genre. Among his many scores and accolades for film, television, and games, are Fallout 3, Fallout 4, Icewind Dale II, Dragon Age: Origins, Rift, Reclaim, Prince of Persia (2008), and the list goes on.
Aside from Inon’s enviable job he is a tremendously nice guy. Our calls involve part work, part serious discussion, and part laughs. From the get-go he assured us that if we are ever unhappy with a piece of music he wrote, he would rewrite it. And he meant it. He meant it so far that he would rewrite a piece that day to turn it around quickly for our thoughts. You really couldn’t ask for a better composer to work with.
We got a chance to go behind the scenes with him which was really cool. Check it out:
