Tom Salta is one of the most versatile and prolific music composer/producers working in multimedia including film, television, advertising and most notably video games. Renowned for crafting memorable, emotionally engaging music for the medium, Salta has garnered widespread acclaim for his distinctive, world-class produced scores featured in blockbuster franchises such as PRINCE OF PERSIA: THE FORGOTTEN SANDS Wii, RED STEEL 1&2, TOM CLANCY'S GHOST RECON ADVANCED WARFIGHTER 1&2 and TOM CLANCY'S H.A.W.X. Recording under the artist name “Atlas Plug,” tracks from his album "2 Days Or Die" grace many television shows on ABC, CBS, MTV, NBC as well as national commercials. His Atlas Plug music can also be heard in the soundtracks to hit games such as CRACKDOWN, THE FAST AND THE FURIOUS: TOKYO DRIFT and PROJECT GOTHAM RACING 3. Salta's orchestral music for Hollywood movie trailers and promos includes HARRY POTTER, SPIDER-MAN, ASTRO BOY, and CORALINE. Prior to his composing career, Salta toured with and worked on releases by a diverse array of popular artists such as Peter Gabriel, Junior Vasquez, Everything But The Girl, Deep Forest, Mary J. Blige and Sinead O’Connor.
For his latest and most accomplished opus, PRINCE OF PERSIA: THE FORGOTTEN SANDS, Salta delivers a melodic and deeply immersive original soundtrack that is essential to the rich gaming experience of PRINCE OF PERSIA. To fully immerse players in the Prince's new adventure, Salta composed and produced an intensely atmospheric and intricately woven original music score that captures the essence and spirit of the original PRINCE OF PERSIA: SANDS OF TIME and supports the new story and gameplay of PRINCE OF PERSIA THE FORGOTTEN SANDS with a contemporary world music aesthetic. The score features performances recorded with globally revered percussionist Bashiri Johnson, dark hypnotic vocals by world music singer Azam Ali and ethereal vocals by international recording artist Judith Bérard, as well as world music and middle-eastern instrumentation such as doubek, kora, khangira, bowhammer cymbalom, lakota slide, walimba, ney, duduk and custom made instruments.
For RED STEEL 2, Ubisoft’s new first-person action title developed exclusively for the Nintendo Wii and designed with full Wii MotionPlus integration, Salta composed an action-packed 'Wild West' guitar-driven score blended with evocative Asian music influences. He enlisted the virtuosic guitar performances of veteran studio musician Steve Ouimette and recorded various instrumentalists for Chinese percussion, Shakuhachi, Fue, Pipa, harmonica and violin. Salta's contemporary and traditional Japanese musical score for the original RED STEEL, Ubisoft’s exclusive first-person action title for the Nintendo Wii, won IGN's Wii Award for Best Original Score.
The anthemic military-themed orchestral scores for TOM CLANCY'S GRAW 1&2 fuse electronic sounds into the score to capture the hi-tech aesthetic of the games for which he was nominated for “Best Video Game Score” at the MTV Video Music Awards. To enhance the exhilarating experience of TOM CLANCY'S H.A.W.X, the first air-combat game set in the world-renowned Tom Clancy video game universe, Salta composed an adrenalized and emotionally-charged live orchestral / electronic hybrid score to emphasize the game’s cutting-edge technology, devastating firepower and intense dogfights. Salta’s anthemic orchestral scores for the TOM CLANCY franchise captured the attention of the US Marines and subsequently he was recently assigned to create the music for the Marine Corps' latest recruitment commercial entitled "America's Few".
Salta will deliver the keynote address for Music and The Moving Image Conference at New York University in May, 2010. He is currently scoring multiple projects to be announced
