List of Film & TV Composers in VGM

Trevor Jones: marvel nemesis

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Christopher Lennertz: (in the first place he is working on Films, like Saint Sinner, Undercurrent, Supernatural Pilot Episode)
James Bond 007: From Russia with Love
Medal of Honor: European Assault
187 Ride or Die
Medal of Honor: Pacific Assault
Medal of Honor: Rising Sun

James Dooley
SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs Combined Assault
SOCOM 3: U.S. Navy SEALs
Dead to Rights II

Klaus Badelt: (I think that doesn't count, since he was only music arranger)
Firefighter F.D.14 (only music arranger/composer was Norikazu Miura)


Bill Brown:(atm he's working on CSI:NY, so I think he counts more as a TV-Composer than a VGM composer)
Rainbow Six 3: Raven Shield
Return to Castle Wolfenstein
Undying
...

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Looked this one up; according to the game's credits, it's a non-original piece.

I considered Bill Brown for the first list I put up; however, he got his start writing VGM and has only recently moved into film and TV music. Lennertz and Dooley, though, have only done a few games apiece and started in TV, so I'll add them.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

There also is
Eric Serra:
New York Race

(The Game is based on the film, the 5th elment, but serra composed completely new music for the game. the music isn't even based on the themes of the film)

I was speaking idiomatically.

I finally discovered who composed the music for one of my favorite game soundtracks of all time, Dr. Brain Action Reaction (I kid you not).

Giorgio Bertuccelli
Michael Skloff

Never heard of them, but then, I've never heard of most non-vgm composers. Skloff's worked on a bunch of TV series according to IMDB, and Bertuccelli's done some TV series as well as a couple Italian movies.

I wish I knew if they composed for any other games. The funny thing is that the music never even played in the game for whatever reason, but it's on the disc as Redbook Audio.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Are you sure you didn't mute the CD player volume in your volume control?

FELIPE NO

It's not muted, but I didn't hear anything. It's a shame; I was hoping to be able to call the songs something other than Track 1, Track 2, and so on.

Giorgio Bertuccelli

Well, IMDB confirms that they are indeed film/TV composers, albeit obscure ones, so they're on the list now

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I've extensively researched Hayato Matsuo and he is definitely more of an anime composer than a VGM one. Koichi Sugiyama may have given him his start, but since 1993, it's mostly been anime from him. He's done quite a few vocal albums as well.

Interesting thread. Keep it up!

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Let's not forget the amazing mister Snow!

Mark Snow
~ Syphon Filter - The Omega Strain
~ Syphon Filter - Dark Mirror

And a few more:

Joris De Man (former tv composer)
~ Killzone

Steve Jablonsky
~ Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars

Sean Callery
~ 24 The Game
~ James Bond - Everything Or Nothing

Justin Burnett
~ Metal Gear Solid 2
~ Metal Gear Solid 3

Yuki Kajiura (EDIT: I see Taisai mentioned her, but she isn't in your list yet)
~ Xenosaga II
~ Xenosaga III


BTW....the music Joel McNeely composed for Shadows Of The Empire, weren't specifically written for the videogame.
So I don't think he should be in this list!!
(It was a soundtrack based on the novel, the VG came later)

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Oh yes, Mark Snow! He also did the music for another game -> Urban Assault. He is also credited for the music in the X-Files game, but I wonder if it's new materail or recycled cues?

Not sure. Anyone care to step forward with more information?

Steve Jablonsky is already on the list. I wasn't even aware that there were any 24 games; Callery's going up too. Can't find enough info on Joris de Man; he's only got two IMDB credits.

That's because she's primarily an anime composer, and I've been largely leaving them off the list because they were threatening to swamp it.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Hello there, i am quite new again (lost my old account in the crash)...
What about..

Akihiko Matsumoto
He composed the music of films like
- Extreme Crisis (1998 - english title)
- Bayside Shakedown (1998 - english title)
- Space Travelers (2000 - english title)
- My Lover Is a Sniper: The Movie (2004)
- Missing Pages (2006)

he did the music of Resident Evil Outbreak & Resident Evil Outbreak: File 2

Paul Hiaumet composed the original material!

FELIPE NO

Another one for you, orion. I recently ripped Bo Jackson's Hit and Run! Baseball and Football (GB) and found that Ed Bogas composed the music for it. Apparently, he's a pretty well-known TV and film composer who's worked on a lot of animated stuff (such as Peanuts and Garfield specials). That's according to his Wikipedia entry and his website.

Here's the Mobygames listing of other titles he's worked on, for the curious.

Fascinating. According to that filmography, he scored both Garfield and Fritz the Cat. There's something deeply wrong with that

I'vre added him to the list.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Kevin Manthei:
Ultimate Spiderman
City of Villains
Shrek Superslam
Dead Rush
Shark Tale
Shrek 2
Pitfall: The Lost Expedition
Kill.Switch
Nancy Drew Series
Dead to Rights
New Legends
Twisted Metal: Black
Sacrifice
Wizardry 8
Vampire - The Masquerade: Redemption
Majesty
EA Outdoor Sports Series
Army Men: Sarge’s Heroes
Mask of Eternity
Jagged Alliance 2
Panzer General Series
Civilization II: Fantastic Worlds
Indian in the Cupboard

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Does Lennie Moore count?

http://www.lenniemoore.com/resume.html

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Manthei and Moore are both very tempting, but their resumés indicate that both started in VGM before branching out later into other arenas, and that the largest amount of their work is still for VGM.

I've begun adding links to the main list, to help people track down and listen to these OSTs and gamerips. If anyone has any stable URL's they can contribute, that would be super.

As there are a bunch of Dr. Brain games, you should specify that the one Giorgio Bertuccelli and Michael Skloff worked on is Dr. Brain: Action Reaction.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Dayum, I would have thought Manthei was at least borderline acceptable. It seems he started out doing additional music for television shows and a videogame within the same year.

But here's one which I think should be okay:

John Carpenter:
Sentinel Returns

I think it's the only videogame John worked on, and that came out in 1998 for the PC. Perhaps Rimo (who did a rip of this game) could shed more light on the music. It's all original material, as far as I'm concerned.

Cool! I had no idea. You don't by any chance know where said rip can be found, do you?

How ya doing, buddy?

Ah yes, he indeed did the music for Sentinel Returns. The game also came out for the PSX (the version I ripped the music from). Another person was involved in the music, only as an arranger though, which is Gary McKill. He was part of the in-house sound team at Psygnosis at that time, having composed music for Wipeout 3, Colony Wars 2-3 and Destruction Derby Raw to name a few. I don't know what he has become nowadays though.

I can upload it to SendSpace. I'll post the link when the transfer will be finished.

That link is wrong. It's from Battlefield 2 (PC). RG-W actually did Battlefield 2: Modern Combat (X-Box, PS 2) and not Battlefield 2 (PC).

You don't by any chance have a link that can replace it, do you?
