Profile of a Game Composer

Posted by Zonk on from the music-for-a-snowstorm dept.

MikeT writes "If you have played a game made by Blizzard in the last five years you've heard Jason Hayes' work, from Starcraft, Diablo II, to Warcraft III. His latest position at Blizzard was lead composer on World of Warcraft. Hayes recently left the software company and decided to venture out on his own in the form of Music By Jason Hayes. FileFront profiles his trials and tribulations and his future aspirations."

    Seems like this was one of the guys who made the music for the starcraft broodwar intro "morituri te salutant".
    One of my favorite songs, so anything he makes just has to be good :)

      The name is just from my flaky memory.
      Usenet seems to confirm it, but I think i got it from somewhere else

      IIRC the song starts with "Ave Caesar, morituri te salutant".
      But maybe it does not have an official name at all.
