==Background==
  +
Composer Inon Zur was brought in to create the score for Fallout "because I could give them the ambience [sic] and the weird decadence plus an almost low-fi sound, but also bring up some more dramatic, orchestral elements with it when needed." The entire composition process took six months, ending with 60-70 minutes and around 40 tracks. These included everything from ambient cues from entering an area to high-intensity battle music.
   
  +
Inon Zur wanted to ensure that the music was not too loop,y but seamless and interactive in response to the player's actions. In taking the orchestral approach into the post-apocalyptic wasteland, he admits some inspiration from [[wikipedia:Jerry Goldsmith|Jerry Goldsmith]], but "sought to employ different techniques on the instruments; they don't sound exactly like a traditional orchestra, but still retain the power of one."<ref>[http://www.ign.com/articles/2008/10/20/fallout-3-music-interview?page=1 Fallout 3 Music Interview] at IGN.com</ref>

Concept artist [[Adam Adamowicz]] found inspiration in the 50s artstyle, the incongruity, and the charisma of "the sort of Jet-Set Frank Sinatra/Rat Pack and a flying car with a martini in one hand and he's going to a big band concert".<ref>The Making of Fallout "Retro-Futurism" section @ 13:13</ref>

The Fallout 3 soundtrack comprises two main elements:

  • The ambient soundtrack composed by Inon Zur.
  • Songs and other musical works which are played by the various radio stations.

Background

Composer Inon Zur was brought in to create the score for Fallout "because I could give them the ambience [sic] and the weird decadence plus an almost low-fi sound, but also bring up some more dramatic, orchestral elements with it when needed." The entire composition process took six months, ending with 60-70 minutes and around 40 tracks. These included everything from ambient cues from entering an area to high-intensity battle music.

Inon Zur wanted to ensure that the music was not too loop,y but seamless and interactive in response to the player's actions. In taking the orchestral approach into the post-apocalyptic wasteland, he admits some inspiration from Jerry Goldsmith, but "sought to employ different techniques on the instruments; they don't sound exactly like a traditional orchestra, but still retain the power of one."[1]

FO3 Promo CD

Soundtrack preorder bonus

The preorder bonus for Fallout 3 at GameStop included an official soundtrack CD made to look like a vinyl 45 record. It included five songs from the soundtrack: "I Don't Want to Set the World on Fire", "Way Back Home", and "Butcher Pete (Part 1)" as well as two tracks from the orchestra score by Inon Zur.

Concept artist Adam Adamowicz found inspiration in the 50s artstyle, the incongruity, and the charisma of "the sort of Jet-Set Frank Sinatra/Rat Pack and a flying car with a martini in one hand and he's going to a big band concert".[2]

In an interview with Eurogamer, PR and marketing manager Pete Hines admitted that "Maybe" was his favorite song from the soundtrack.[3]

Music supervision and clearance was obtained by Christopher S. Parker and Tim Scanlin of Brandracket, LLC.
