“Inon Zur is a key talent in the new generation of orchestral composers who brings equal – and remarkable – creativity to all visual mediums, whether it be movies, television or videogames. In fact, some of the most influential and acclaimed videogame scores of the past decade – the creatively formative years of our industry – have been Inon’s. He fully understands the nuances of the medium, and has an extraordinary musical scope. And as the awards and accolades prove, he is already one of ‘the greats’.”
Steve Schnur – Worldwide Executive of Music and Music Marketing, Electronic Arts
“Inon is not only an amazingly talented composer who can add to the epic feel of a world, but he’s a true pleasure to work with.”
Scott Hartsman – Chief Creative Officer, Trion Worlds
“In a career that has been marked by some of the most distinctive scores in videogame history, we’re proud that one of Inon Zur’s most enduring and acclaimed works was his original score for Dragon Age: Origins. The epic orchestral vision he now brings to Dragon Age II perfectly captures – and enhances – the game’s elaborate fantasy world of dark forces and heroic battle. It is Inon’s music that now defines an extraordinary global franchise.”
Steve Schnur – Worldwide Executive of Music and Music Marketing, Electronic Arts
“Inon brought everything full circle in Fallout: New Vegas with a masterful score that perfectly fit the environment. Inon Zur was the perfect person to do this. He is a very diverse composer and we felt that he would be able to achieve our goals for this game. The vast majority of the music in the game was composed for New Vegas and it takes the series in a new direction.”
Scott Lawlor – Audio Director, Obsidian Entertainment
“Inon Zur’s [Dragon Age: Origins] compositions transcend the genre, by not only enhancing the game’s scenes but also by contributing unique and powerful elements to the overall atmosphere and storyline.”
Orvar Safstrom – Producer, “Joystick” Symphony Concert Series
“Inon has created world-class quality, epic orchestral music; his sweeping symphonic music is outstanding.”
Mr. An Yong Jin – Audio Director, Bluehole Studio
“From the moment you hear the Dragon Age: Origins theme to the lilting ballad, ‘I Am The One,’ at the end of the game, Inon’s score is hand in glove with the Dragon Age: Origins dark fantasy. The Dragon Age: Origins score has an originality and passion to it that illuminates the story. I am continuously awestruck with Inon’s ability to tap into the essence of a project. How he gets so much feeling into a melody is simply stunning.”
Simon Pressey – Audio Director, BioWare EA
“Inon’s [Prince of Persia] music underlines sumptuously the dramatic and the cinematic qualities of the story. Bringing together, in a video game perspective, tragedy, humor, violent confrontations, romance and moral dilemmas is a huge challenge but the new Prince of Persia soundtrack makes it happen, reaching new artistic heights and emotional depth.”
Simon Landry – Music Supervisor, Ubisoft
“Inon has written some of the most emotionally charged and ethereal music heard in a game to date. His music for Lineage II is perfectly suited for a live symphony concert setting and more importantly it matches our vision for this epic game and upgrades the fantasy to a whole new level!”
Mr. An Yong Jin – Sound Supervisor, NCsoft
“Inon’s ability to describe a complex situation through music is uncanny. He grasps human interaction and internal conflict and delivers musical support for these scenarios with sensitivity and assuredness in his compositions. Inon’s sense of orchestration and the sound palette he has developed for this title are integral to the feel and identity of Crysis.”
Joseph Zajonc – Audio Director, Crytek
“Inon is a composer of great talent and originality. That, together with his energy and enthusiasm is reflected in the music. It’s powerful and emotional, with a great sense of theatre and impact. The orchestration is punchy and creative, and I am certain that Inon’s music will become the soundtrackof choice for the Trailer industry.”
Duncan Schwier – Creative Manager, BMG Zomba Production Music
“Inon has really out done himself; His music brings to life the dramatic emotion of the Prince of Persia’s epic story, seamlessly blending the powerful majestic beauty of the symphony with evocative, exotic eastern ethnic instrumentation that’s totally authentic for the world of the Prince.”
Simon Pressey – Artistic Audio Director, Ubisoft
“I think that what best illustrates the power of Inon Zur’s composition[s] is that the production team often hums the Syberia II theme music.”
Stéphane Blais – Lead Designer, MC2‑Microïds
“Anchored with an orchestral cinematic backdrop, Inon masterfully blended music and instrumentation from Eastern Europe with indigenous Eastern tribal music to create Syberia II’s soundtrack. The result is the most intellectually and emotionally driven game score I have heard yet.”
Michael Elman – Sound Designer, Wave Generation
“Inon has consistently created music that is emotionally dynamic, masterfully orchestrated, and ingeniously produced. His ability to stretch his stylistic range, and instantly respond to challenging direction is astounding. Inon is simply the most professional and prolific composer we have ever worked with.”
