Maniacs Of Noise deliver dedicated soundtrack for upcoming mobile 3D-racer
Red Out Racer gets audio legend treatment
London UK, August 30th 2005 — IN-FUSIO, the international publisher of mobile games and manager of player communities, today announced a cooperation with the music-group, “Maniacs Of Noise”. The famous musicians, who have been delivering breathtaking tunes for videogames since the days of the mighty C-64, will compose five exclusive electronica-tracks that will appear in IN-FUSIO’s upcoming 3D-racing-game, “Red Out Racer,” that will be available this autumn.
“We are thrilled to have the guys from ‘Maniacs Of Noise (MON)’ on board for this project,” says Markus Schuetze, Product Manager at IN-FUSIO. “MON have a notorious reputation for composing great sounding individual tunes that support a game perfectly. In combination with its awesome looking 3D-graphics, the five songs that “Maniacs Of Noise” will contribute to “Red Out Racer” will definitely lift the experience of mobile-gaming to a new level.
Although mobile phones are now feature-packed, it is still a challenge to implement great sounding tunes not only in menu-screens but within the actual game-play. With the aid of “Maniacs Of Noise,” IN-FUSIO will provide gamers with exactly this feature: a pumping electronica-soundtrack that is a substantial part of the racing-experience and not just cosmetics.”
“Maniacs Of Noise” member Thomas Egeskov Petersen (aka-Laxity) said: “Doing a soundtrack for a mobile phone game is an exciting experience. We’ve worked on a vast number of different platforms over the years, each and every one with its own restrictions. This has given us a head start in understanding how to produce good audio for mobile phones.”
He continued, “The ’oldskool‘ tricks still have a use within the mobile technologies of today, as the capabilities of devices are still somewhat limited compared to modern gaming platforms. Nevertheless, a great creative and technical challenge – we like that! It’s been a pleasure to work with IN-FUSIO in getting this project on the way. They’ve shown great confidence in us and given us the freedom to come up with what we do best - music with an edge!“
