We just threw out themes of the game, examples of some of the other music that would be on the radio to give a sense of the time period and instrumentation. "It started out with shooting emails back and forth between her and some of her band mates. "The songs all came together much faster than I expected," Howard says. She plays the character of Magnolia in the game, a singer in the town of Goodneighbor. The Wonder Woman actress had done voice-work with Bethesda before, but this marks her first time doing music for the series. The team wanted to add original music for the game, and so they looked to singer and actor Lynda Carter for help. The result is a soundtrack for Fallout 4 that is three times the size of Fallout 3.īut the soundtrack wasn't done yet. "And then there are much more mellow, downbeat pieces that just seem to fit the picture at night, when you're not in the midst of something." "There were times when I was getting ready to launch a big battle and ‘Ride of the Valkyries' happened to come on," Lampert says. Lampert says the music always has a way of matching up with what he's doing in-game. Those were tossed out, creating a leaner, more effective soundtrack. Some grew annoying after repeated listenings, while others were too long and interrupted the flow of the game. Howard made a playlist and listened to the songs non-stop for three or four days while at work.
Once the team had a solid selection of music to choose from, it was time to select the best tracks for the job. Parker found a selection of more obscure, less mainstream music that matched the world of Fallout perfectly, with lyrics that dealt with uranium, radioactivity and more. From there Howard and audio director Mark Lampert partnered with Chris Parker, co-founder of music-licensing agency Brandracket. Howard selected "It's All Over But the Crying" from the band to use in the game, which you can hear in the game's announcement trailer. "You know you want to open the trailer with that riff from The Ink Spots," game director Todd Howard says.
