Mark Griskey is fast becoming one of the premier composers that video game companies call when they require original music for movie-based titles. Take last year, for example. In addition to completing the co-written / co-produced score for The Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End and recording with the Skywalker Symphony Orchestra for his original score to LucasArts’ first next-gen title, Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, Griskey also composed and recorded his original score for Disney/Walden Media’s The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian video game to coincide with the movie.
Scheduled for release on May 15th, The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian video game is the sequel to The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe, which are both developed by Traveller’s Tales and scored by Mark Griskey. A long time fan of the C.S. Lewis novels which the games and movies are based on, he is clearly delighted to be associated with the franchise. “I am a huge fan of fantasy literature in general, and the Narnia series has always been one of my favorites,” he affirms.
”The music style for this game was similar to what I did for The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe, but darker and less whimsical. Disney asked for a darker score from the beginning and it made perfect sense to me because the Caspian story was definitely darker than The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe.”
