Ubisoft is partnering with Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Cliff Martinez of Red Hot Chilli Peppers fame, to compose the original soundtrack for its upcoming open-world, first-person shooter Far Cry 4. Cliff has composed music for films like Traffic, Drive and Spring Breakers.
Working with Ubisoft Montreal’s Far Cry 4 Music Designer Jerome Angelot, Music Supervisor Simon Landry, and Audio Director Tony Gronick, Cliff created original music specifically for Far Cry 4’s gameplay and helped bring to life the gorgeous, yet ruthless environment and the unforgettable characters found in the game.
“Bringing Cliff on board was a no-brainer. Collaborating with him was a dream. He has the remarkable ability to portray compelling emotions and elevate the mundane into extraordinary with his musical talent,” said Tony Gronick, Audio Director for Far Cry 4, Ubisoft.
“It was an honor to be asked to write the music for the Far Cry 4 game as my first full-length video game soundtrack, It was exciting for me to be asked to take my usual minimalistic cinematic approach to the immersive game world.” said Martinez.
The Far Cry 4 Original Game Soundtrack digital edition will release worldwide today (4 November) and the game will be available from 18 November across all the gaming networks.
