Jeremy Soule is one of the most prominent and popular composers of video game music today. He got his start composing music for children's games from Humongous Entertainment, including some of the entries in the Putt-Putt, Freddi Fish, and Pajama Sam series. Soule went on to write music for games like Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, the Guild Wars series, World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria, and the first four Harry Potter video games. But his scores for the latest three Elder Scroll games to date (Morrowind, Oblivion, and Skyrim) have raised his profile considerably. While his music for Skyrim doesn't use a full live orchestra (though it does use a real choir), Soule uses his samples effectively to create haunting soundscapes and suggestive melodies that perfectly evoke the Stygian mood of the game.
