game
MEDIA RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Los Angeles - July 6th,
2006 - Celebrated orchestral composer Inon Zur has created the
original musical score for the new video game Pirates of the
Caribbean: The Legend of Jack Sparrow. Internationally
recognised as one of the A-list composers in the video games
industry, Zur was commissioned by Bethesda Softworks to produce
an original score that would reflect the adventure and
excitement of the Pirates of the Caribbean in an interactive
experience. Pirates of the Caribbean: The Legend of Jack
Sparrow is available for the PlayStation®2 computer
entertainment system and the PC. The game features a blend of
fast-paced action and adventure that captures the entertaining
characters, settings, and spirit of the original Pirates of the
Caribbean film. Zur composed over 45 minutes of original
orchestral music including the main theme, written specifically
for the game, which was recorded with the Northwest Sinfonia
orchestra at the Bastyr Chapel in Seattle. Writing pulsating
scores with the highest production values, Zur brings extensive
experience composing for film, television and video games. His
previous game titles include Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones,
Champions of Norrath: Realms of EverQuest, Baldur's Gate II:
Throne of Bhaal and Men of Valor, for which he won the 2005
Game Audio Network Guild award for 'Best Original Instrumental
Song.' Zur's powerful orchestral scores have been featured in

(Touchstone Pictures), The New World (New Line Cinema), Kingdom
Of Heaven (Twentieth Century Fox), The Pacifier (Walt Disney
Pictures), The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (Walt Disney
