Following his work on the dramatic orchestral music for the cinematics in Prince Of Persia: The Warrior Within, Inon Zur recently recorded the east-meets-west flavored orchestral score for Prince Of Persia: The Two Thrones, the third volume in the series of Ubisoft.

Zur applied his film and television scoring background to create an epic soundtrack, and conducted the Hollywood Studio Symphony Orchestra at the Eastwood Scoring Stage, Warner Bros. Studios in Burbank, California.

The team members for Zur's recording session included: Simon Pressey - Ubisoft Artistic Audio Director, Dori Amarilio - mixing engineer and co-producer, Paul Taylor - orchestration and music preparation, Debbi Datz-Pyle - orchestra contractor, and Greg Deenan - Warner Bros. studio manager.

Additionally, Zur collaborated with Stuart Chatwood, who composed the music for "Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time". By combining Zur's cinematic orchestral and unique ethnic instrumentation with Chatwood's own distinct rhythmic styles, "Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones" delivers the most cinematic and immersive audio experience in the franchise to date.

Inon Zur's powerful orchestral scores have previously featured in the promotional trailers for Hollywood movies such as Kingdom Of Heaven, Fantastic Four, The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy and The Pacifier.

"The combination of Stuart's music that is laced with unforgettable melody and in-the-pocket ethnic groove, and Inon's turn-on-a dime powerfully descriptive orchestration is making this the soundtrack that I've always wanted for the series. The collaboration between them has been wonderful with selfless exchange of ideas which makes for the sum being greater than the parts. I hope everyone enjoys the music as much as I am!"
