Bungie: Leaving Halo was "bittersweet"
Halo composer sad to leave the series behind
The man behind the iconic music of the Halo series has been talking of how it felt to move on from the franchise after working on it for the best part of ten years.
Bungie's composer Marty O'Donnell explained that it was a bittersweet experience saying goodbye to the Master Chief and the Halo universe after creating somewhere between 40 and 50 hours of music for it.
O'Donnell mused: "I think the other thing I would say is bittersweet...walking away from the Halo universe...I had so much music that I'd created over the last decade and walking away, I go, 'Well, all right. That's the end of that. We can't even pull from that music any more for anything in the future at all. It's all for Halo.' So essentially I'm just taking all those CDs and - I don't know what there is, maybe 40 or 50 hours of music - and just putting it on the shelf and moving forward on to something brand new."
He added: "It's kind of a relief because from a creative standpoint it's great to just have an absolutely blank sheet of paper, but then on the other hand blank sheets of paper are scary to creative people. I'm not saying I have writer's block, but we'll see..."
