About the project

Music composition for Sony’s AAA video game. More than 2 hours of original music were written for this epic title. The music utilizes a palette of different instruments ranging from big orchestra to twisted synths and heavily processed sounds, blurring the lines between music and sound design.

‘Killzone: Mercenary’ received amazing reviews, as Alastair Lindsay (Head of Music at Sony) puts it:

‘The music for Killzone: Mercenary needed to span from ambient tones that conveyed the mood of the locations to high action cues and all in-between, whilst having signature sounds for both the ISA and Helghast. Not such an easy task, but Walter managed this with ease, creating a tone that fitted the story arch perfectly.’

Mair said: „Glue was a fantastic experience that required me to leave the picturesque countryside of England behind and dive into a gloomy and sinister England. „The music focuses on the relationship between the main characters and their playful and emotive nature, which ultimately heads into much darker territory.“
