Tyler Bates to score Rise of the
Argonauts
Rise of the Argonauts is going to
have a musical score created by Tyler Bates, whose most recent credits include
the epic film “300” and the TV series “Californication”. Rise of the Argonauts
is the first game to feature his work, so it’s an exciting development!.
Bates is one of the most sought
after composers in Hollywood with a distinctive approach to scoring movies. His
list of credits include “300”, “Doomsday”, “The Devil’s Rejects”, “Dawn of the
Dead”, “Halloween” and “Californication”. Bates’ future projects include “The
Watchmen” and “The Day the Earth Stood Still”.
“The mythical nature of Rise of the
Argonauts encouraged me to go beyond TV and movies and compose the score for my
first video game,” said Tyler Bates. “Rise of the Argonauts is an epic game with
some of the biggest Greek heroes like Jason, Hercules and Achilles, which
inspired me to compose dramatic, sweeping music to create the proper setting for
this exciting adventure.”
