Game Music Michael's game music features the same thematic orientation and ambitious production values of his film scores. His music for Sierra's Empire Earth 2 utilized the Budapest Film Orchestra and Chorus, as well as ethnomusical specialists performing instruments such as duduk, Korean hourglass drum, and Asian and Native American flutes. Michael's game client list includes companies such as Bethesda Softworks, Valve Software, Vivendi Games, XiCat Interactive, Blue Omega Entertainment, and Zoesis Studios.
Michael's background includes five years as music director at Zoesis Studios. In 1999, years before interactive music became mainstream, Michael composed and implemented a fully branching, reactive score entirely with live orchestra for Zoesis' children's game The Penguin Who Wouldn't Swim. A lifelong gamer himself, Michael enjoys the challenge of heightening the emotions of the stories that gameplayers collaboratively create in realtime.
