There is no doubting that Nimrod's composition team is a creative and critically acclaimed bunch of musical brains - having worked on over 60 titles accounting for over 50 million sales, their track record speaks for itself.

Nimrod's composers are experienced in all major genres of music; from full orchestral composition, to punk, funk and everything in between. Whatever your creative brief requires we have a compositional talent experienced in the music and games industry that can provide the soundtrack your project deserves.

Our Music Supervision Department has a wealth of experience working alongside the World's leading film producers, game developers and publishers, ensuring that the most creative, cost effective and time efficient music brief is created for your project. Nimrod has recently partnered with Marc Marot, the former president of Island Records and a vastly experienced film music supervisor. His credits range from 'Angel Heart' at the beginning of his career to 'Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels', and the 4 million selling 'Notting Hill' soundtrack. Marc has recently been appointed as head of music for the newly formed $106,000,000 UK based film production fund 'CinemaNX'.

We consider it essential that the client is assisted in creating a music brief that is culturally significant, and that the process of realising the soundtrack is carried out to the highest standards possible.

Sometimes there is no need to spend tens of thousands of pounds on expensive licensed tracks. In the context of the game it really doesn't make enough of a difference to justify the price tag.

Nimrod's production staff has built an awesome reputation by recreating famous tracks of the past and present, and composing stunning pastiche tracks that convey all the feeling of the original track but at a fraction of the cost.

Recent work in this area of production has been rewarded by a BAFTA nomination for the Reservoir Dogs soundtrack.

Nimrod's music supervision service has been prolific since its launch in 2005 and in total has licensed over 350 tracks for high profile video game releases. We make licensing budgets go a long way and design music briefs that are compelling to the ears of the gamer. We can create a soundtrack full of classic tracks or obscure but great older tracks.

If you are keen to expose new talent, we can liaise with our A&R friends in the music industry to source you budding current acts. Working with our contacts, we can get highly competitive rates and access to music catalogue that can often be a minefield for other supervisors to license.

Nimrod was recently nominated for an MTV Award for the Driver Parallel Lines soundtrack.

Established in 2002, the NSO was the first orchestra set up specifically for the needs of the video game industry and has developed in to one of the finest session orchestras in the country. Using the best session players in the UK, many of which have performed on countless blockbuster movie scores (Star Wars, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings to name a few), the NSO is an orchestral service that brings a level of class and professionalism to your soundtrack.

Under the watchful eye of Nimrod's orchestral director, Jon Williams, the NSO can be tailored to suit the needs of your project. From a 90 piece orchestra with choir, to a smaller more intimate quartet arrangement - we can deliver orchestral recordings that directly compete with the big budget Hollywood scores. We strive to provide a sonic experience of the highest quality, thus using the legendry Abbey Road studios for the majority of our live orchestral projects.

We also have a relaxed approach to filming the orchestra in action so you can gather valuable assets for your 'making of' videos.

The NSO can be hired and managed independently from Nimrod's in-house composers. Thus, if you have hired a composer and want them to have a reliable, experienced and well-coordinated orchestral team to support them we can provide this service.

The NSO is currently preparing to perform Marc Canham's Far Cry 2 soundtrack at Abbey Road.

One of the key areas that set Nimrod apart from many of its competitors is our insistence on getting specialists in at every stage of the music making process. Our in-house producer, recording engineer, mix engineer and mastering engineer have over 50 combined years of experience in the music industry. We avoid using sample sets wherever possible - if the music for your project requires a big band sound, then we record a big band. If a soloist performance is what is needed, you can count on us to find the artist that is right for the job.

The video game industry hasn't been the best at exploiting the musical opportunities of a soundtrack in the past. It is our job on many of the projects that we compose or supervise to create added exposure of the game through the music. Music has a much longer life cycle than the game itself; if we promote the music in the right way through mainstream or specialist press, internet sites and TV, we can broaden the exposure of your product and help drive soundtrack sales (of which the publisher gets a percentage). It's a win-win situation.

During past projects we have collaborated musically with famous artists such as Iggy Pop, Public Enemy, The Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Grandmaster Flash. Most of these collaborations resulted in the relevant projects being indirectly advertised through prime time MTV coverage. Another example of music working for the game was recently illustrated when we were able to secure front page plugging on iTunes sites across the globe for one of our soundtrack releases.

In addition to the above services, we also provide a musicologist service that can identify any areas that you should be concerned about in regard to the legality of your game's proposed musical content. You can consequently rest reassured that the music within your product does not infringe any copyright law which, at worst, can lead to your product being removed from the market.

Through a strategic partnership with The Mustard Corporation, Nimrod has developed three new services involving the spoken word and musical identity of your project.

We work closely alongside experienced voice directors who have directed projects both in the UK and the US, and have access to the finest voice over talent across the globe. Our joint efforts guarantee superbly performed and professionally recorded English and FIGS scripts. Examples of some of the wide-reaching work that we have completed include recording Richard Dawkins narrating 'The God Delusion', children's TV animations and high profile video games such as Pokemon and Driver Parallel Lines.

Our localisation and culturisation services are designed to ensure that your game works equally effectively across all major territories. For our localisation projects we use experienced translators and international actors to maintain the authenticity of script and sound.

Our culturisation service was originally conceptualised through contact with Japanese video game developers and publishers who wanted to create products that appealed to both the Eastern and Western market. It now stretches across all territories where game content, including script and music, needs to be carefully crafted to ensure it fits in to the intended market place and does not offend, alienate or confuse the gamer.
