Bluehole Studio and En Masse Entertainment continue to impress with their ability to put together a top notch roster of talent for TERA. The forthcoming fantasy MMORPG will feature a musical score by Inon Zur and Rod Abernethy as well as the Northwest Sinfonia Orchestra. The soundtrack makes use of traditional acoustic guitar, various ethnic instrumentation and vocal performances.
Zur is a prolific composer responsible for the Dragon Age, Fallout 3, and Prince of Persia scores, while Abernethy's extensive body of work includes music for The Hobbit, Alpha Protocol, and Dead Space.
"The general direction for the music for TERA was to have an original score that sounded grand and to match the large-scale in-game world, mixed with some warm sounding music," said Mr. An Yong Jin, Bluehole's Audio Director. "Inon has created world-class quality, epic orchestral music, which is his best attribute; his sweeping symphonic music is outstanding. Rod's beautiful compositions for TERA span a wide scope of musical styles. His expertly crafted blend of acoustic guitar and orchestral compositions is incredible for enhancing the musical atmosphere and their popular music appeal."

This game is sounding more and more epic by the day. It's quickly moving to the top of my want list.

I listened to the music on their site and I have to say its sort of a mixed bag. On one hand, I don't like that there is no melody that really sticks out in any of the songs. On the other hand, all of the music is pretty unique and its lack of melody will allow it to be more atmospheric and thus, will probably be played longer by most gamers then more melodic songs.

This game suddenly came into my radar and now looks like I would love to play this game. It looks and sounds really cool. I just hope this is not a grindfest, I am willing to do quest grinds but not killing the same mob a million times grind. I am holding out hope for this one.

The music on the website is atmospheric music, and was done before these guys came on to the project. :)
