Brian Eno to Score Spore

At a lecture in Berlin last week, ambient tunesmith Brian Eno revealed that he would indeed be creating the music for the much-anticipated Spore.

He also revealed that the game would be using software Eno called "The Shuffler" to randomize various sounds and loops so that no song in Spore will ever repeat itself. Which I kind of hope is flexible since if I like a game's music in a certain area I will often just stand there doing nothing just to hear it a bit longer.

The original report has this to say: "Generativity plays a role in many fields now, with gaming being no exception. Also built around this notion and probably one of the currently most eagerly awaited games is Will Wright's Spore, for which Brian Eno, as he revealed, will be making the soundtrack! He was asked to do it, because the designers wanted sound that is just a procedural as the game itself, instead of the loops which are tied to certain stages or areas which we are used to experience in games."
