Marty O’Donnell’s ‘Fanfare For Video Games’ To Premiere At The Game Awards
This weekend, developers, publishers, press, and fans will gather in Las Vegas for The Game Awards. This new event is different than those held in past years, and composer Marty O’Donnell (Halo, Bungie) is providing music to celebrate the medium.
Show producer Geoff Keighley approached O’Donnell to compose a majestic piece in the spirit of Jerry Goldsmith’s “Fanfare for Oscar.” “He convinced me that its time for games to come of age and have their own show that’s like the Oscars and have their own theme,” O’Donnell says in a behind-the-scenes sneak peek.
The full theme will be performed at The Game Awards on December 5. For more on the event, including a list of categories and nominees, check out our previous coverage.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
