For Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2, Salta has written a more aggressive and expressive original score to enhance the game’s intensive action and memorable, dramatic scenes, with only a few select motif references taken from the anthemic musical score of the first outing. To ensure the best performance of these tense and emotionally complex compositions for Tom Clancy’s GRAW2, Salta recorded with the Hollywood Studio Symphony and the Page LA Studio Chorus on the Eastwood Scoring Stage at Warner Bros. Studios in Burbank, California, a premier orchestra recording venue for Hollywood’s major motion pictures.

Manu Bachet, Music Supervisor for Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2 at Ubisoft, said, “Our goal on the sequel was to match the same high quality level as the acclaimed Tom Clancy’s GRAW1 soundtrack. However Tom exceeded our expectations and has brought Tom Clancy’s GRAW2 score to the next level, guiding the whole orchestra and choir performance to beautifully balance the thin line between emotion and violence - right where the magic happens.”

Salta’s other recent projects include Ubisoft’s exclusive first-person action title for the Nintendo Wii console, Red Steel, drawing from traditional and contemporary Japan for the game’s original soundtrack which received IGN’s Wii Award for Best Original Score. His music is also featured in the Warner Bros. movie trailer for “Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.”

Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2 builds off of the events in the first game and places gamers in control of the U.S. military’s elite fighting unit, the Ghosts. In the year 2014, the rising conflict between Mexican loyalists and insurgent rebel forces has thrown Mexico into a full-scale civil war. Under the command of Captain Scott Mitchell, the Ghosts are called upon to face an imminent threat to the United States. The fate of two countries now lies in the hands of the Ghosts as they fend off an attack on U.S. soil. Equipped with the most cutting-edge weaponry and technology, the Ghosts must battle on both sides of the border to neutralize the escalating rebel threat.
