New York, NY (February 27, 2007) - Composer and music producer Tom Salta today announced that he has written and recorded the original score for Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2.

From Tom Salta:

Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter  2 is being developed by the award-winning teams that created the original Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter in Ubisoft’s Paris and Red Storm Studios, with developer GRIN once again developing the specific version for Windows PC. Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2 is scheduled for release on the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, PSP (PlayStationPortable) system and Windows PC in March 2007, with the PLAYSTATION3 computer entertainment system version scheduled to release in June 2007.

For Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter  2, Salta has written a more aggressive and expressive original score to enhance the game’s intensive action and memorable, dramatic scenes, with only a few select motif references taken from the anthemic musical score of the first outing. To ensure the best performance of these tense and emotionally complex compositions for Tom Clancy’s GRAW2, Salta recorded with the Hollywood Studio Symphony and the Page LA Studio Chorus on the Eastwood Scoring Stage at Warner Bros. Studios in Burbank, California, a premier orchestra recording venue for Hollywood’s major motion pictures.

Manu Bachet, Music Supervisor for Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter  2 at Ubisoft, said, “Our goal on the sequel was to match the same high quality level as the acclaimed Tom Clancy’s GRAW1 soundtrack. However Tom exceeded our expectations and has brought Tom Clancy’s GRAW2 score to the next level, guiding the whole orchestra and choir performance to beautifully balance the thin line between emotion and violence - right where the magic happens.”
