Digital Extremes announced that composer Tim Larkin was chosen to score the soundtrack to their upcoming first-person shooter Pariah. Larkin is known for his previous work on the Myst franchise. In the press release, Larkin states that he wanted a sound that set the game apart from others.

“I typically look for rhythm and sounds in unusual places so my style is unique with its combination of atypical percussion mixed with traditional instruments. I’m really happy with the results for Pariah, it’s distinctive and memorable, explained Larkin”

“Music and sound are vital to creating a truly immersive experience,” said
James Schmalz, founder and creative director of Digital Extremes. “The
movie industry has demonstrated this very well and now that we have gotten
to a point with technology where we can match image and sound quality in
our games, it’s finally possible for developers to create that immersion.”
