If you haven’t heard the name Cris Velasco there is still a good chance you’ve played one of the games he’s scored. Such titles as Mass Effect 3, Borderlands 2, Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine, Darksiders, Tron: Evolution, Prototype and Clive Barker’s Jericho are just a few in the long list of games he has scored. Well he will be adding one more to his resume by creating the score for the WiiU exclusive ZombiU. Velasco is going to haunt our dreams with such sounds as “detuned toys and instruments, carnival organs, distorted guitars, and haunting ambient textures, contrasted with the intimate emotion of piano and string quintet compositions.” That right there is almost enough reason for me to buy a WiiU. November 13 the game will be released.

Somewhere amidst the early 1980′s, I had gotten my hands on a VHS tape of George Romero‘s unique vampire vision, MARTIN. Once John Amplas’ razor went the forearm of the woman on the train – I was hooked. And not so much by the Tom Savini style gore, or George Romero reputation for entering legendary horror realms – but by the purity of it all – and the way the soundtrack, the film, the atmosphere and the abstract of it all blended together in such genre purity.

For many years after, the music has resonated in my mind. It is the direct link to the lingering memories of an exceptional genre film – and what I like to think of as its signature. I had the honor of being able to speak with MARTIN‘s soundtrack composer – Donald Rubinstein – recently. Although he is acclaimed and accomplished at Jazz and other score works that include George Romero’s BRUISER and KNIGHTRIDERS, we reflected on MARTIN alone, and how the magic, that is that score, came to be.
