Trailer for HoI 3

Hey everybody,
once again I have not posted in awhile. I have several projects Im working on atm, and its quite frankly some of the best music ive done.
First, I did some scoring for my pals at Paradox, they wanted some music for a trailer for their upcoming game Hearts of Iron 3. If your familiar with the game, you know that Hearts of Iron 2 was the first game I ever scored... Ive been into scoring for games quite alot since then. Sorry for the bad sound quality but heres a video of the trailer.



Anyway, give me a few more weeks and Ive got more news about the projects I can talk about.

Cheers!

More scores

Im really excited about all the thousands of people comin in here lately to listen to music and check out what im writing. Im going to Write more often and maybe post pictures of recording sessions and what Im working on.
I have a few projects Im working on and I will post about them as soon as I can.

In the meantime I will upload more music this month from different games ive scored.

Cheers!

Andreas

Rome

Rome has been released. I composed and recorded 70 mins of orchestral music for this magnificent game. I had a blast to compose the wide variety of music styles that was needed for it, and got to record some ethnic/ancient instruments ive never even seen before.

So what are you waiting for, get to your local gameshop and buy the game! You can find it at Gamersgate or Paradox Webshop for you who prefer to buy it online.

Here is some music from the game.

Rome Goes to war

Rome Finale

Riding to battle
Main Theme (Legions of Rome) - Excerpt
Elysian Fields - Excerpt

Silence

Sorry for the lack of updates this year.
Im waiting for a new website design, which will make it easier and less time consuming for me to update music and other stuff.

Regards,
Andreas

Europa Universalis 3 Soundtrack

Ive been working on Europa Universalis 3 with the fine crew at Paradox Interactive for quite awhile now composing the soundtrack.
The music is already recorded and were working on releasing a soundtrack CD and a "composers diary" in the collectors edition box.

Paradox has just made a press relase talking about the music.

"New York, USA (October 26, 2006) – For Europa Universalis III, Paradox Interactive’s biggest production yet, the company recently announced a Collectors Edition that will contain a CD with the complete Europa Unviersalis III soundtrack as well as a composer diary.

The company now confirms that the soundtrack has been originally composed for Europa Universalis III, produced by renowned composer Andreas Waldetoft. This is not the first original soundtrack Andreas has produced for Paradox Interactive, his most recent work could be heard in Hearts of Iron II.

“Being involved in the making of Europa Universalis 3 has been a fantastic ride, said composer Andreas Waldetoft. “I feel confident I have created soundtrack that reflects the epic scope of the game while giving the players a subtle sense of its grandness.”

The original soundtrack to Europa Universalis III soundtrack will encompass the four main themes of the game: Exploration, Diplomacy, Trade and Warfare.

“We are thrilled that Andreas was able to join us for again to work on “Europa Universalis III”, said Susana Meza, Director of Marketing and PR for Paradox Interactive. “His soundtracks strike a perfect balance between blending in and creating an atmosphere that enhances gameplay”.
