New Podcast! The Annotator


Recently, we began a brand new podcast, THE ANNOTATOR, which is unlike any podcast we've done before.  The Annotator focuses on the composer.  No interviewer.  No answering questions.  It's simply the composer telling his or her story about and sharing insights into their original scores.

We are two episodes in, but in case you haven't been able to catch them yet, here they are!

Daniel Pemberton - King Arthur: Legend of the Sword


Oliviere Derivere - Get Even


Hope you will listen and if you enjoy what you hear, let us know and check things out on the official site, TheAnnotator.Net.

Olivier Derivière Goes Supernova

 Olivier Derivière Goes Supernova


Hailed by MTV as "Game music's eclectic daredevil," IFMCA award-winning composer Olivier Derivière (Remember Me) continues to push the boundaries of enhancing interactive experiences through music with his latest opus for the upcoming online space video game SUPERNOVA, developed by Primal Game Studio and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment.

For SUPERNOVA, Derivière has combined his trademark electronic music wizardry with epic orchestral space themes recorded with the Philharmonia Orchestra at Abbey Road by three-time GRAMMY® award-winning engineer John Kurlander (The Lord of the Rings). Entitled "SUPERNOVA Volume 1: Through The Portal" the original soundtrack is now available for digital download on Bandcamp and other digital music sites. Preview samples of the score are available at Soundcloud.

"The musical journey of the OST follows a big crescendo from a star's birth to its supernova," explains Derivière. "Volume 1 is about the first planet, more will come as the game progressively extends its universe to new worlds. This is only the beginning."

SUPERNOVA's futuristic science fiction setting, with technology and space-faring races, offers huge gameplay possibilities. Players are transported to a universe where contests between commanders are won with unique technologies and strange alien powers. Set in the distant, space-faring future, SUPERNOVA takes an innovative approach to the multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) genre by adding real-time strategy (RTS) elements and promises an exciting science fiction setting with vast potential.

Buy SUPERNOVA Volume 1 at Bandcamp
