Timeline

1964

Jack Wall (born 1964) is an American video game music composer.

He has worked on video game music for over 20 games including the Myst franchise, Splinter Cell, Jade Empire, Mass Effect, and Call of Duty.

Wall earned a degree in civil engineering from Drexel University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and, after a brief stint working in civil engineering, transitioned into music production.

1991

In 1991 Wall left Skyline, and until 1994 worked as an independent music producer and sound engineer in New York City, working with musicians such as John Cale, David Byrne, and Patti Smith, as well as local bands.

Over those three years, Wall consistently worked with Cale, eventually handling arrangement and orchestration of Cale's compositions as well as producing and working as a sound engineer.

While working with Cale on the soundtrack to a movie, House of America, he watched as Cale composed thirty minutes of music in almost real time, and was inspired to begin composing music.

1995

He worked with musicians such as John Cale, David Byrne, and Patti Smith, and, after performing increasingly complex production and sound engineering tasks, moved into music composition in 1995.

Wall immediately began working in the video game industry, composing the soundtrack to Vigilance.

By late 1995, Wall was living in Los Angeles and was married to singer Cindy Shapiro, who he had met in 1994.

She knew Ron Martinez, who was starting a video game company, PostLinear Entertainment, and he asked Wall to work for it as a composer.

1997

He composed the soundtracks for several games for PostLinear; the first released was Vigilance in 1997.

His daughter Gracie was also born early in 1997.

2001

Primarily composing in an orchestral style, by 2001 he composed the soundtrack to Myst III: Exile, which was the title he says put him on the map as a video game composer.

After leaving the company, he composed the soundtrack to 2001's Myst III: Exile, which was his first orchestral score and the work that he said put him on the map as a video game composer.

It was also interesting to him, as it was a sequel to the first video game he had ever played, Myst.

Myst III was nominated for the Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences "Outstanding Achievement in Original Music Composition" award, which it lost to the Tropico soundtrack.

2002

In 2002, Wall became one of around 20 co-founders of the Game Audio Network Guild (G.A.N.G.) as well as senior director.

In 2002, Wall became one of around 20 co-founders of the Game Audio Network Guild (G.A.N.G.) as well as senior director.

The group works to promote the appreciation of video game music, as well as serve as a professional resource for video game music composers and musicians.

It was developed and headed by Tommy Tallarico.

2004

His work on Myst IV: Revelation in 2004 earned him his first three awards, those of "Best Live Performance Recording", "Best Original Vocal Song: Choral", and "Music of the Year" from the G.A.N.G. awards.

2005

In 2005, Wall, along with G.A.N.G. founder and fellow composer Tommy Tallarico, produced the Video Games Live concert series, having served as the conductor for the international concert tour.

Wall, along with Tommy Tallarico, has produced the Video Games Live concert series, which began on July 6, 2005.

The two had been planning the concert series, which presents orchestrated versions of music from dozens of games, for three years.

The concerts consist of segments of video game music performed by a live orchestra with video footage and synchronized lighting and effects, as well as several interactive segments with the audience, conducted by Wall.

Video Games Live was intended to take the idea of a symphonic video game music concert, which was popular in Japan, and combine it with a rock concert to make it appealing to western fans.

Wall composed the soundtracks to three games released in 2005 including the award-winning score to Jade Empire, and some of his works released since then have been 2007's Mass Effect and 2010's Mass Effect 2.

Mass Effect's score earned Wall several awards and nominations, as did Mass Effect 2.

Although many of his works are orchestral, Jack Wall has worked in a wide variety of styles, including "heavy metal meets orchestral" and "tribal percussion".

For Jade Empire, he focused on using Chinese instruments and Taiko drums.

When writing a video game score, Wall prefers a collaborative approach with the game designers to creating the music, as he feels that the "tug back and forth of ideas" makes the music stronger.

2009

The series is international and ongoing, with more than 70 shows planned for 2009.

2010

As of 2010, Wall serves as vice chairman, after stepping down from heading the board of directors in 2007.

He continued to compose soundtracks for games such as The Mark of Kri and Unreal II: The Awakening.

2020

His latest released soundtrack is that of 2020's Black Ops Cold War.

His soundtracks for Myst III: Exile, Myst IV: Revelation, Rise of the Kasai, Jade Empire, Mass Effect, and Mass Effect 2 were nominated for and won multiple awards.

Jack Wall, born in Phoenixville, Pennsylvania, earned a degree in civil engineering from Drexel University in Philadelphia and began a career "planning out sub-divisions and shopping malls".

At the same time he was in a rock band, as he was also interested in music.

After recording a demo tape with the band, he was inspired to change career paths and quit his job to work in the music industry.

He initially worked as a bartender and later started working in recording studios in Philadelphia and later Boston and New York City, where he worked for Skyline Studios.
