More on Martin O'Donnell
Description from Wikipedia:
Martin "Marty" O'Donnell is an American composer known for his work on musical pieces for video games from Bungie Studios such as the Myth series, Oni, and the Halo trilogy. O'Donnell collaborates with his musical companion Michael Salvatori for many of the scores. He has also directed voice talent and sound design for the Halo trilogy.
Starting out writing television and radio jingles, O'Donnell moved to the world of video game music when he and his company, Total Audio, did the sound design for the 1997 title Riven. Since then he has composed music for more than seven video games. His most recently released work is the Halo 3 Original Soundtrack, featuring the complete score to the award-winning Halo 3. The two-compact disc set was released in November 2007, and has been featured at several video game concerts. ==Music career==
O'Donnell began working in television and film. In his early career, O'Donnell wrote the jingles for Mr. Clean and Flintstones Vitamins. According to O'Donnell, after fifteen years of doing TV and radio commercials, he decided he wanted to do game soundtracks.
The composer's first foray into game-related work was working as a sound designer for the video game Riven, the sequel to Myst. His company, Total Audio, also produced the music for Bungie Studios' Myth: The Fallen Lords in the same year. TotalAudio later composed the music for Valkyrie Studio's Septerra Core, Legacy of the Creator; O'Donnell met Steve Downes while working on the game, and the composer would later recommend the voice actor to Bungie for the role of the Master Chief.
