Bio
.. .. .... .. .. .. .. .. .. .... .. ..Inon Zur composes emotionally dynamic music for feature films, television, movie trailers, anime and video games. A graduate of the Music Academy of Tel Aviv in Israel, Zur moved to Los Angeles to study the art of film music at the Dick Grove School of Music and UCLA with such luminaries as Jack Smalley, Alan Ferguson and Henry Mancini. He started his composing career writing for network television series and feature films including “Escaflowne,” “Digimon,” “Power Rangers,” “Au Pair” and “State of Grace.” Zur’s Hollywood scoring expertise combined with his flair for powerful melodic writing also attracted the interest of the video game world. Composing cinematic orchestral music for blockbuster franchises such as “Dragon Age,” “Prince of Persia,” “EverQuest,” “Crysis” and “Fallout,” he has garnered international acclaim including British Academy (BAFTA), Spike TV and Hollywood Music In Media Award nominations for Best Original Score. ..Variety.. named Inon Zur one of the top music talents in interactive entertainment... .. Zur’s award-winning music for “Dragon Age: Origins,” BioWare EA’s blockbuster fantasy role playing video game (RPG), is his most critically acclaimed yet. Expressing an array of powerful emotions with eloquent dramatic orchestrations and stirring ethereal vocals, the thematic score and songs are crafted and woven to narrate the epic story. Zur composed and conducted the score with the acclaimed Northwest Sinfonia Orchestra. Lyrics for the “Dragon Age: Origins” opening theme were co-written and performed by celebrated singer/songwriter Aubrey Ashburn. Inon and Aubrey also collaborated on the music and lyrics for the Elvish ballad "I Am The One" which was awarded Best Original Song at the 2009 Hollywood Music In Media Awards. “Dragon Age: Origins” was also nominated for Best Original Score at the HMMAs and received nominations for Music of the Year, Best Original Vocal – Pop ("I Am The One" and “Leliana’s Song”) and Best Soundtrack Album at the 2010 G.A.N.G. Awards. The official soundtrack is available for digital download from online music stores including iTunes and reached No.1 on the Amazon UK MP3 Soundtracks Chart in December 2009. .. .. The sweeping and romantic fantasy music Inon composed for Ubisoft’s “Prince of Persia” video game series brings to life the driving emotion of the Prince’s love story, seamlessly blending the majesty of the symphony with evocative, exotic eastern ethnic instrumentation. Elsewhere in the fantasy genre Inon elevates the massively successful fantasy online role playing universe “EverQuest II” to new emotional heights; ..Official EverQuest Magazine.. hailing his music as "One of the most vital components in the [EverQuest] experience." In the genre of action sci-fi Zur created the oft-described ‘otherworldly’ soundtrack for Crytek/EA’s innovative first person shooter “Crysis,” manipulating the orchestra to invoke the alien influences in the blockbuster. Another critically acclaimed assignment was the atmospheric orchestral-hybrid score for the post-nuclear wasteland in Bethesda’s RPG “Fallout 3”, featuring discordant strings and percussion instrumentation fused with experimental ambient sounds. “Fallout 3” was nominated for a prestigious BAFTA Games Award for Best Original Score. Spike TV (Viacom) viewers also enjoyed the “Fallout 3” score, nominating it for Best Original Score at the Spike TV Video Game Awards... .. Zur’s music is celebrated in concerts around the world and performed by top orchestras and A-List musicians. “Dragon Age: Origins” was debuted live during "A Night in Fantasia 2009," alongside his music from “Prince of Persia,” performed by the Eminence Symphony Orchestra at the Sydney Entertainment Centre in Australia. “Dragon Age: Origins” will also be featured at the “Joystick” and “Score” symphonic concert series in Sweden in 2010, performed by the Malmo Symphony Orchestra and Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra, respectively.

Mr. White Chocolate Joe…
Hello Inon, I really enjoy your music! I love the game Warhammer 40k: Dawn of War and I think the game has probably the best audio out of any game I've ever played, so much so I actually couldn't help but notice, when with most games I don't. A particular song of yours you did, the main Necron theme you did for dark crusade, do you remember what notes you used in the repeating low melody? I'd like to play this song on guitar, if you can gimme the first few bass notes I can figure out the rest (but there's a lot at once haha!) Thanks regardless of whether or not you respond, and keep making that awesome music!
