The composer of action-thriller Alan Wake Petri Alanko recently voiced in his tweet current projects, however without any mentioning names and without any hints.”Oh my. Four projects on my desk(top). One game, one movie, one album mix, one curious theme remake/remix. Feeling sporty in a dead cow way.” - he wrote.
 

In consideration of active tweeter-correspondence between Petri Alanko and music video director Stobe Harju (he made videos for Poets of the Fall and cinematic scenes for Alan Wake), we can assume Alanko is going to make music for his film. At least, in an interview to our site Alanko admired the skill of Stobe Harju and expressed his desire to write music for his film if it ever would.

As for the game, it is too early to make any suppositions: it may be a new franchise for Petrie, but Alan Wake 2 is not excluded. Microsoft has not yet made the announcement of a sequel, so Remedy is extremely cautious, when saying about the future of the franchise. However, representatives of the developer said - if the publisher gives to Alan Wake 2 a new chance, the development of the sequel will take as little as eighteen months (as his time working on Max Payne 2), because their engine answers to the latest standards and does not require a major revision.

Probably some kind of detail we can find out closer to E3 2011.

UPD: Petri Alanko: Making music, mixing stems, tuning, editing - but it&39;s not Alan Wake 2. ;-)

We hasten to share with you the names of nominees of Hollywood Music in Media Awards. The ceremony will be held in Hollywood on November 18. Famous persons in the sphere of TV, cinema and – our lovely! - videogame music composing will be awarded there. You can satisfy your curiosity, reading the name list below – here, our heroes of stave:

Tom Salta - - Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands

We are very glad to find in this list such names as Petri Alanko and Ramin Djawadi, despite of their debut in this industry. Separate nomination is devoted to vocal composition from videogame, and there are only three pretenders for victory:

"God and Mankind" (Godeater) Written by Go Shiina / Performed by Go Shiina and the Japanese Studio Orchestra, featuring Donna Burke
"Things Will Never Be The Same" (Tap Tap Revenge 3) Written & Performed by Hypnogaja "With Hearts Sublime" (Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole) Written by Winifred Phillips & Winnie Waldron / Performed by Winifred Phillips

You may expect a hot battle between musical directors: not only Simon Landry (Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands) will fight for the first place. Paul Gorman (Dante's Inferno) and Steve Schnur (Medal of Honor) will keep him a company. And almost forgot, the last fighter - SCEA Music Team (God of War III).

We are tired to tape one more list apart, so, if you are interested in movie composers, you could find out the information on official site of Hollywood Music in Media Awards.

After 5 years of full time development we are ready for Alan Wake. It lost PC as a platform, changed many conceptions, became Xbox 360 exclusive and finally it is now cult for many people without being seen. Remedy, famous for its “when it’s done” adding last traits to game and plan to release it on May 21st. We were able to find Alan Wake’s composer Petri Alanko and ask him pretty intimate questions about AW. Check it out!
