Deus Ex 3: Human Revolution features cybernoir score by Michael McCann
The Deus Ex franchise has a strong standard of music score. DX1 is frankly iconic- are you imagining the big fanfare from the menu screen right now, too? DX2 had the musical stylings of Kidneytheives, whose albums I totally reccomend. Dx3 will have the support of Michael McCann, a master of atmospheric scores.
Regurgitatum:
Award-winning composer and sound designer Michael McCann aka Behavior (ReGenesis, Splinter Cell: Double Agent), best known for his ambient cinematic scores and organic soundscapes, is creating the original musical score for DEUS EX: HUMAN REVOLUTION™ currently in development at Eidos-Montréal. The music captures the unique visual style of DEUS EX: HUMAN REVOLUTION and thematically supports the blend of action, role-playing and adventure genres featured in the game. To immerse players in the dark and beautifully visualized world of DEUS EX: HUMAN REVOLUTION, the score fuses elements of cybernoir, futuristic renaissance and electrosymphonic ambience.
