Rickwood Is Playing Games

Chris Rickwood of Rickwood Music has recently completed composing and producing the complete score for the interactive game Law and Order: Criminal Intent. Developed by Legacy Interactive and based on the hit television series, the game puts players in the mind of Detective Robert Goren and leaves them to solve the murder case.

"This was a really enjoyable project," said Rickwood. "Interactive games create an interesting set of challenges. The audience becomes the protagonist, and it is my job to compose music to support the emotions of the audience rather than the characters on screen. And while most films are two or three hours long, interactive games can last forty or more hours. Creating interesting content is critical to the success of the soundtrack."

Law and Order: Criminal Intent will be released in the fall of 2005. Currently Chris is completing work on a short film and is gearing up for more interactive music projects. Rickwood's music has been featured in several interactive game projects including Cartoon Network's Megas XLR: Appetite for Demolition, Activision's History Channel Civil War: Bull Run and THQ's Evil Dead: Hail to the King.
