Muzaks! Michael Hoenig

While it might not be a band/group, Michael Hoenig is one of my favourite composers. I originally got to know him due to his work on the soundtrack of the Baldur's Gate series. Something that I still am in awe of today nearly 14 years after I first played the game...

Hoenig has also worked on a huge list of movies such as "Dracula3000" and "After Alice" as well as on a short lived tv series called "Dark Skies". He has his own recording studio and as such was brought on to compose on many films and tv series due to the ease and lack of expense associated with hiring him.

The pieces he composes are full of life and really suit the environment they are created for. Whether the track is supposed to be slow and dark, giving the impression of foreboding, or whether it is full of fun and light, making you think of mischievous children.

Overall he always creates tracks that suit the theme and I have always enjoyed them.
