'What are the possibilities for this remake, sonically, narratively? What are the connections that they are going to put together?' That was my task. They really wanted to take a step back and evaluate what they had, and possibilities. I was working with a really great audio and music team at Motive and EA. You can be in situations as a composer where you're rushed, or where you do have a lot of time, and in this case I did. This is my first game project ever, so I don't know what the typical process is, and I'm sure there are many different situations. I just started, and it's going to be done in a few months. Trevor Gureckis: Yeah, I'm working on a TV show right now. That's so much longer than a film or TV score takes.

I saw a quote where you said it took eighteen months to do this. It started around April 2021, and then every four months I'd go out with a bunch of music to record. It must have been a seventy eighty piece group, with fifty strings, and full brass, and winds, and then choir.

We did three big sessions at Ocean Way in Nashville with an amazing orchestra. Trevor Gureckis: There is a lot of solo stuff in it, but we recorded a huge orchestra. Meanwhile, Unitology grows into one of the dominant religions in the galaxy.Did you play a lot of your music for Dead Space? Markoff goes on to create copies of the original Black Marker destroyed in Chicxulub. Altman dies in a Necromorph attack and becomes a false martyr, with future generations hailing him as the church's founder. Altman almost escapes, but Markoff, a local militia leader who reveals his true loyalty to the Marker and the genesis of Unitology, captures him. Eventually, those corrupted by the Marker start worshiping Altman for his resistance.Īt the end of the novel, the Marker causes the initial outbreak of Necromorphs. During the excavation process, Altman realizes that, while it drives others to commit murder and suicide, the Marker's power does not affect him. While investigating a gravitational signal, Altman finds the Black Marker in a crater near the town of Chicxulub. This obelisk-like object causes people to hallucinate and - as revealed later - has the power to reanimate the living corpses that 'Dead Space' calls Necromorphs.

In the novel, Altman uncovers the first Marker humankind has encountered.
