PLAYSTATION®3 (PS3™) EXCLUSIVE GAMES

Starhawk™ Featuring Original Music by Christopher Lennertz
Sorcery™ Featuring Original Music by Mark Mancina
(May 29, 2012 – Los Angeles, CA) – La-La Land Records will release the original soundtracks for two recently launched PlayStation®3 exclusive games, Starhawk™ (composed by Christopher Lennertz) and Sorcery™ (composed by Mark Mancina).

ABOUT STARHAWK
From the creators of Warhawk, comes Starhawk, a bold new third person shooter adventure that provides fast paced, frenetic action set in the lawless frontier of space. Through the game’s unique Build & Battle system, players can instantly alter the battlefield by calling down offensive and defensive structures from an orbiting drop ship in real-time, all while blasting away at enemies in the middle of huge single-player or multiplayer firefights. Players have a host of weaponry at their disposal and a multitude of vehicles to choose from for high-speed, extreme combat combined with intense vehicular warfare on both land and air. The soundtrack features original music by Christopher Lennertz (Mass Effect 3, the film Horrible Bosses).

Christopher Lennertz is an award winning composer for film, television, and video games. He has already scored over 40 feature films, five network television series, and over a dozen video games. Lennertz has achieved high-success in a wide variety of genres from star-studded comedies to family films to action packed adventures. From his 1960s infused score for Think Like A Man to his comedic score for Horrible Bosses, Lennertz’s adeptness for a multitude of genres has put him on the map time and time again.

His knack for comedy is undeniable through films like The Comebacks, The Perfect Holiday, and the cult classic spoofs Vampires Suck and Meet the Spartans. He’s also contributed his unique brand of humor to several hit family films including Alvin and the Chipmunks, Hop, Marmaduke and Cats & Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore. Furthermore, he’s tapped into the indie world, scoring critically acclaimed films like Alfred P. Sloan winner Adam and Tortilla Heaven, which garnered him the very first Film Music award for Best Independent Film Score.

Along with television and film, Christopher Lennertz is celebrated for his video game scores with major sellers like Steven Spielberg’s Medal of Honor, James Bond 007: From Russia with Love, Quantum of Solace, and Gun. Most recently he scored Mass Effect 3 for PlayStation 3; it was the third and final installment in the games’ series.

“From the beginning, I wanted to make sure that no matter how intense the action got,” said Lennertz, “the player would be immersed in the world of Starhawk and really become the character. The melodies had to tell the story, and the sound had to create a sonic universe that was unique and unmistakably Starhawk.”

ABOUT SORCERY
Sorcery puts the power in the players’ hands using the PlayStation®Move motion controller to conjure and command powerful magic as they brave the dark world of the Faerie Kingdoms. On their journey, players will encounter a multitude of enemies, solve ingenious puzzles, learn powerful spells, and craft strange potions immersing them in a unique fantasy adventure like never before. As a young sorcerer’s apprentice named Finn, it is up to the player to master the arcane arts and fight back the the Nightmare Queen who has broken the ancient pact with mankind and threatens to cover the land in eternal night.
Born in Santa Monica, Mark Mancina began his musical training at an early age focusing on classical guitar, classical piano and composition. His scores frequently feature his own performances on piano, guitar, bass, percussion and drums, highlighting unique sounds harvested from a personal collection of traditional, exotic, and custom instruments from around the world.

UNCHARTED 3: DRAKE’S DECEPTION™ SOUNDTRACK TO BE RELEASED BY
LA-LA LAND RECORDS

Limited Edition 2CD Set Features Original Music from Composer Greg Edmonson

(Los Angeles, CA –November 1, 2011) La-La Land Records has released a limited edition (3000 units) 2CD soundtrack for UNCHARTED 3: Drake’s Deception Original Video Game Soundtrack, composed by Greg Edmonson (Firefly, UNCHARTED™). The CD is currently available at www.lalalandrecords.com and will be released in stores on November 15. The package includes extensive liner notes by Daniel Schweiger.

“Greg has always approached UNCHARTED with a mature sensibility,” says Amy Hennig, creative director at Naughty Dog, “He's continued to help give UNCHARTED its identity with the kind of instrumental combinations that say, 'This is different. Listen.'"

Film and television composer Greg Edmonson is best known for composing the soundtrack to the cult space western TV series Firefly written and directed by Joss Whedon (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel). He is also the composer for the PlayStation®3 blockbuster video game series UNCHARTED, winner of Best Original Music from the Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences and the British Academy of Film and Television Arts. Additionally Greg has composed a number of episodes of the animated sitcom King of the Hill created by Mike Judge (of Beavis and Butthead fame). Prior to these scoring achievements he was a protégé of the renowned TV composer Mike Post (Hill Street Blues, The A-Team, Magnum P.I.) working on a number of shows including Cop Rock, L.A. Law and Quantum Leap.

“Everyone at Sony and Naughty Dog has made UNCHARTED a compelling, fun, and well-researched journey to be on,” said Edmonson. “I’m thrilled to be given that opportunity again with Drake’s Deception.”

In this third game in the UNCHARTED series, a search for the fabled “Atlantis of the Sands” propels fortune hunter Nathan Drake on a daring trek into the heart of the Arabian Desert, a journey that pits him and his mentor Victor Sullivan against the occult treachery of a shadowy clandestine organization and its ruthless leader. When the terrible secrets of this lost city are unearthed, Drake’s quest descends into a desperate bid for survival that strains the limits of his endurance and forces him to confront his deepest fears.

Because of the setting of UNCHARTED 3, Edmonson expanded his sound palate to include Middle Eastern instruments and melodies. Iranian-born singer Azam Ali contributed vocals and Arabic pieces. Edmonson also mixed ethnic instruments like the Duduk, Ney, Darabuka, Duhulla, Oud and Saz with the orchestral score, which was recorded in London at the famed Abbey Road studios.

Edmonson admits that he has “always been a big fan of mixing melodic content and themes into action cues. These themes along with the ethnic instruments, remind us that whether we’re in London, South America or France we’re ultimately going to end up in a lost city in the desert. The orchestra is the compass that points the way.”

UNCHARTED 3: Drake’s Deception for the PlayStation® 3 system will be available November 1, 2011. UNCHARTED 3: Drake’s Deception -- Original Video Game Soundtrack (limited edition 3000) is available from www.lalalandrecords.com and in stores on November 15, 2011.
