Gary Kibler has been composing, playing and recording his own music for over 30 years. Last year Sony Pictures approached him about creating an original music score and audio design for a major online game release of The Da Vinci Code.
Bruce Maddocks , the accomplished sound engineer for a number of Hans Zimmer and Harry Gregson-Williams soundtrack projects (Pirates of the Caribbean, The Last Samurai, Man On Fire) produced the final masters of this material in his Cups 'n Strings studio in Santa Monica, California.
CNET EDITOR'S REVIEW:
With its combination of hard suspense and cool mystique, "The Da Vinci Code" puts a unique set of demands on a soundtrack composer. Gary Kibler proves himself up to the challenge with his cerebral score, which alternates between airy synth sketches and urgent orchestral suites."
Shortly after its release this became the most downloaded game or film related music on CNET's popular music download site
DOWNLOAD.COM and for months remained in the top 50 for all music categories. In July of last year the BBC featured the track Winds of Change on their top-rated Top Gear television program, a show with a reputation for showcasing some of the best of new and established music.
Gary most recently worked for Sony Pictures in their Games Studio in Culver City and later for Sony Online Entertainment based in San Diego. He recently relocated to the UK just outside London where he is now working on several new game and film projects.
