release notes
Black Screen Records is excited to team up with multi-instrumentalist and award-winning video game composer Jon Everist to release his soundtracks to the critically acclaimed turn-based tactical RPGs Shadowrun: Hong Kong on limited edition gold/silver and black/black audiophile 180g vinyl.
Remastered by Christian Bethge at RAMA Tonstudio, Jon Everist’s cinematic soundtrack gets a high quality vinyl treatment through Black Screen Records with all-new original artworks by concept artist and illustrator Joel DuQue who originally worked on the game at Harebrained Schemes in Seattle. Additional layout artwork has been made by Dane Baudoin (Another World, Earthworm Jim).
The vinyl soundtrack will be housed in poly-lined inner sleeves and will come with free mp3 download codes.
Jon Everist is a Seattle based composer mostly known for his work in video games. He scored the critically acclaimed Shadowrun: Hong Kong and its predecessor “Dragonfall” which was named PC Gamers “Top 100 PC Games of All Time”. He is currently writing the score for BattleTech (coming later in 2018); one of the most successful video game Kickstarters in history by Harebrained Schemes. Jon started producing electronic music at a young age, influenced by an eclectic mix of artists like Aphex Twin, MF Doom, Bjork and Radiohead. After producing and touring as a member of Seattle-based hip hop group Rudy and The Rhetoric, Jon pivoted to pursue a degree in music and began his journey as a composer. His style borrows influences from the different stages in his career, combining his electronic background with his obsession for the classical orchestra and modern film scoring techniques.
„The Shadowrun series was a joy to work on, and will always occupy a special place in my memory. I felt humbled and privileged that I got to write themes for characters like Glory, and to fill the streets of dystopian Hong Kong with my unique take on this compelling and rich universe. The talented team at HBS and their fantastic writing made my job easy.“
- Jon Everist (composer)
