Jack Wall (composer)
Jack Wall (born 1964 in Phoenixville, Pennsylvania〔Information obtained from (Intelius ).〕) is an American video game music composer. He has worked on video game music for over 20 games including the ''Myst'' franchise, ''Splinter Cell'', ''Jade Empire'', ''Mass Effect'', and ''Call of Duty''. Wall earned a degree in civil engineering from Drexel University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and, after a brief stint working in civil engineering, transitioned into music production. He worked with musicians such as John Cale, David Byrne, and Patti Smith, and, after performing increasingly complex production and sound engineering tasks, moved into music composition in 1995.
Wall immediately began working in the video game industry, composing the soundtrack to ''Vigilance''. Primarily composing in an orchestral style, by 2001 he composed the soundtrack to ''Myst III: Exile'', which was the title he says put him on the map as a video game composer. In 2002, Wall became one of around 20 co-founders of the Game Audio Network Guild (G.A.N.G.) as well as senior director. In 2005, Wall, along with G.A.N.G. founder and fellow composer Tommy Tallarico, produced the Video Games Live concert series. Wall serves as the conductor for the international concert tour. His latest released soundtrack is that of 2012 ''Black Ops 2''. His soundtracks for ''Myst III: Exile'', ''Myst IV: Revelation'', ''Rise of the Kasai'', ''Jade Empire'', ''Mass Effect'', and ''Mass Effect 2'' were nominated for and won multiple awards.〔(Mass Effect 2 Takes 14th Annual Interactive Achievement Awards’ Game of the Year )〕
==Early life==
Jack Wall, born in Phoenixville, Pennsylvania, earned a degree in civil engineering from Drexel University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and began a career "planning out sub-divisions and shopping malls".〔〔 At the same time he was in a rock band, as he was also interested in music. After recording a demo tape with the band, he was inspired to change career paths and quit his job to work in the music industry. He initially worked as a bartender and later started working in recording studios in Philadelphia and later Boston and New York City, where he worked for Skyline Studios. In 1991 Wall left Skyline, and until 1994 worked as an independent music producer and sound engineer in New York City, working with musicians such as John Cale, David Byrne, and Patti Smith, as well as local bands. Over those three years, Wall consistently worked with Cale, eventually handling arrangement and orchestration of Cale's compositions as well as producing and working as a sound engineer. While working with Cale on the soundtrack to a movie, ''House of America'', he watched as Cale composed thirty minutes of music in almost real time, and was inspired to begin composing music.〔
