Tom Salta writes and produces emotionally charged electronic and orchestral music for film, television and video games. Combining his expertise in programming and mixing hit records with the highest production values, Salta creates powerful melodies and hooks with a hybrid of lush orchestral strings, hard-driving percussion and edgy electronic music. As comfortable with live orchestras and choirs as he is with synthesizers, computers, and the latest software, Salta’s epic orchestral score for the top selling Xbox 360 video game Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter (GRAW) was nominated for “Best Video Game Score” at the 2006 MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs). Furthermore, his contemporary and traditional Japanese musical score for Red Steel, Ubisoft’s exclusive first-person action title for the Nintendo Wii console, won IGN’s 2006 Award for “Best Original Score.” Salta’s anthemic military-themed orchestral score for the award-winning Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter (GRAW) was the first time a Ghost Recon game featured in-game music. Recorded with the Northwest Sinfonia Orchestra at the prestigious Bastyr Chapel in Seattle, he also fused electronic sounds into the score to capture the hi-tech aesthetic of the game. In addition to Salta’s MTV VMA nomination, GRAW was nominated for “Best Audio” at the 2006 BAFTA Video Game Awards and is a finalist for “Best Interactive Score” and “Audio of the Year” at the 5th Annual Game Audio Network Guild Awards. <a href="https://www.last.fm/music/Tom+Salta">Read more on Last.fm</a>.
