Schyman Returns To Destroy All Humans News

THQ confirms that the Destroy All Humans! composer has returned for a second dose of Crypto...
THQ has today announced that Destroy All Humans! composer Garry Schyman will be returning to score the forthcoming sequel, Destroy All Humans! 2.
The game, which is due for release on Xbox and PlayStation2 from October 20th, is set in the 1960s and as such, Schyman has revealed some of his influences for the score: James Bond, The Man from U.N.C.L.E., and The Twilight Zone.
Composer Garry Schyman, who also wrote the score for the first Destroy All Humans! game (nominated for three G.A.N.G awards including Best Original Score), commented, "For Destroy All Humans! 2 I immersed myself in the scoring of that period, listening to dozens and dozens of soundtracks from that time of many different genres. However, just as in the original Destroy All Humans! was set in the 1950's, with Destroy All Humans! 2 I never attempt to intentionally satirize the game experience with the score. Instead the humour comes from playing it dead straight and letting the irony of the 60's images, witty dialogue and straight orchestral scoring from the period create the fun."
Andrew Cheney, Lead Sound Designer for DAH 2, said, "We were looking for a perfect marriage between the alien theme from the first game and an updated feel of the new decade, the 60's. Garry hit this mark perfectly. His use of thematic elements throughout the score lends cohesion to the diverse atmospheres of DAH 2, but with unique twists and perfect understanding of the individuality of each site. Garry's score has an energy and excitement that truly captures the 60's without rehashing existing music."
Schyman concludes, "When you score a DAH 2 landing site set in Japan with an alien and a Godzilla-like monster you end up with some very exciting music! It was a blast to write and record this score. I have to thank Pandemic and THQ for making these amazingly entertaining games and letting me loose in a sandbox to have fun!"
We'll have more news shortly...
