Gamers attending the Video Games Live concert performance at the Paramount Theatre in Seattle on January 24th are in for a special treat, as music from Bungieās upcoming Halo 3: ODST makes its debut.
Halo composers Marty OāDonnel and Michael Salvatori will be joined by other members of the Bungie team to celebrate the world premiere of the music from the Halo 3: ODST trailer. After the concert, ticket holders will be able to stand in a long line, desperately trying to think of questions to ask them during the meet and greet. Might I suggest, āIs composing hard?ā or perhaps, āHow difficult is it to compose?ā ā two of my favorites.
