Berlin-based music artist MONA MUR signs responsible for the music score of  IO Interactive's  recently announced
"Kane & Lynch 2™: Dog Days" (Eidos/Square Enix).

The goal was to create a "Symphony of Terror" out of the city noises. Not in the sense of horror, rather creating the feeling of alarm and panic. "She composes the Industrial Terror Ambience which generates the opressive but driving atmosphere", says Art Director Rasmus Poulsen in EUROGAMER. "We didn't want this normal epic orchestra stuff here."

Industrial music legend EN ESCH (formerly of KMFDM) contributes some intense guitar and noise layers which were heavily tranformed for use in the composition. The soundtrack of "Kane & Lynch 2™" introduces non-linear musical soundscapes in a groundbreaking "reality style", just as the visuals of the game demand.




Biography

MONA MUR, vocalist in her own category, created together with Alexander Hacke, FM Einheit and Mark Chung (all of EINSTÜRZENDE NEUBAUTEN) a couple of 80s undergroundhits such as "Snake", "120 Tage" or "Eintagsfliegen". A violently neo-expressionist sound of darkest shades and concerts in manic intensity and morbid slowbeat-chic were foundation stones for her cult image in the international avantgarde music scene until today. Other collaborators include´ "The Stranglers", "Yello" and the Warsaw Philharmonic Orchestra. Her songs are to be found in movies such as Fatih Akin's much acclaimed drama "Head On/Gegen die Wand". In 2009 she released the CD "120 Tage - The Fine Art of Beauty & Violence" with EN ESCH on PALE MUSIC Int.

In 1999 Mona joined the Computer Games Industry as audio artist for software developer TERRATOLS. She created a unique style of eerie and haunting electronic music and Sound FX. Her work can be found in games such as BALLANCE (ATARI USA/Japan 2006, awarded "Seal of Excellence" in Adrenaline Vault), the Sci-Fi-Adventure "CULPA INNATA 2-Chaos Rising" or the apocalyptic 3rd person shooter "VELVET ASSASSIN" (Replaystudios/SouthPeak 2009/UBISOFT JAPAN 2009).

"Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days™" is her first international AAA title.
