Gary Schyman, the composer behind Destroy All Humans, has taken on the the job for the upcoming highly anticipated shooter BioShock. Described as “chilling ominous and at other times deeply beautiful and poignant,” the music is said to be composed in various styles of early twentieth century writing.

?Garry Schyman?s work for us was incredible from the start in every possible aspect,? said Emily Ridgway, Audio Director at Irrational Games. ?From his ability to produce and compose amazingly unique orchestral recordings, all the meanwhile perfectly accommodating the peaks and troughs of game development, Garry really deserves all the praise he gets for the BioShock soundtrack and then some.?

Ken Levine, Creative Director at Irrational Games, attested, ?It?s kind of hard to imagine BioShock without Garry?s music. It just wouldn?t be the same game.?

The game is set for release on August 21 in North America and August 24 internationally on PC and Xbox 360.
