FYI, the gaming music enthusiasts amongst you will be happy to know that Sumthing Else Music Works, Inc. has today announced the details of the upcoming Homefront Original Soundtrack. Composed by Matthew Harwood, whose previous scores include Frontlines: Fuel of War, the Homefront Original Soundtrack is scheduled for release on March 8th, 2011 to retail outlets through Sumthing Else Music Works, and for digital download at
www.sumthingdigital.com, Amazon MP3, iTunes and other digital music sites.
“Homefront is so rich and compelling that creating the score to support it was both rewarding and challenging,” says Harwood. “I would ask myself, how would I feel if this were to actually happen, how would I live, what would I do to protect my family, would I stand by and watch, or would I fight? The world of Homefront posed these questions to me in a way I was not initially expecting. Those questions were the cornerstone that I used to form an emotional compass for the compositions.”
Describing the music for Homefront, Harwood explains, “Stylistically, the orchestra, which was fused with electronic elements that were supported by Asian percussion, was the brick and mortar. I also wanted to use guitars (both acoustic and electric) to help sell the locale. Asian instrumentation such as the erhu and pipa are heard to help mold the sonic quality. When we recorded the orchestra we did so in New York and it was a thrill to hear the score brought to life by the caliber musicians here in the city. To me, Homefront represents something rare in gaming, where the story and what it has to say are integral in the experience. Composing music for Homefront was a pleasure. I hope you enjoy listening!”
Homefront is scheduled to hit the 360, PS3, and PC on March 15th, 2011. For more information on the game, visit
