Looking back at his career at Bungie
As we learned this past week, Marty O’Donnellis no longer with Bungieafter nearly two decades at the company. His music is iconic in this industry, and theHaloseries owes a part of it’s infamy thanks to what he did on that series without a doubt.
While I think Marty will find work again easily if he wants it (maybe go to 343 and make theHalomusic good again?), I did want to take this moment to reflect on his career at Bungie. Specifically theHaloseries as the music he created for it has been some of my favorite for any game franchise out there.
The one that left the biggest impact on me was theHalo 3: ODSTsoundtrack. From the haunting saxophones of “Overture,” to the feelings of defying the odds with “Special Delivery,”ODST’soriginal score has been one of the handful gaming soundtracks to actually move me to tears. Proper credit to Michael Salvatori who worked on this album as well.
So what was your favorite song/album/piece that Marty O’Donnell worked on while at Bungie, or otherwise. Did you know he made theFlintstonesvitamin song? That was a good one too. Man remember when theFlintstoneswere cool?
