Reznor on DOOM 3

A Q&A on nine inch nails access (thanks Not One Of Us) offers Trent Reznor's take on why he did not end up working on the DOOM 3 soundtrack as planned. Here's the deal on what happened, and Trent's guess about who ended up doing the theme song:
john carmack and i had established a friendship while working on quake. he came to see up playing during the last tour and wanted to get my feelings on a remake of doom with a new advanced engine he was working on. we discussed how cool it would be to create a place that was immersive to the point it wouldn't need a "soundtrack" -- the technology was advanced enough to visually and aurally to create a rich environment you could truly explore and inhabit. we discussed my involvement as the overall sound producer -- from foley and voice over to ambient world noise.

later, i started work on what would be used at the e3 show 2 years ago. it was exciting working in a totally new way with new tools. i was working directly in the game editor and with the programmers refining the sound code and helping the environment come alive. tried "tuning" various environmental sound sources so they'd cohesively interact with on another in a "musical" way. the advanced technology provided enough horsepower to give me a seemingly limitless amount of freedom. it was a lot of work, a lot of thinking in a different way, and a lot of fun. i was working with the best guys in the field -- true geniuses.

out idea was to have no music, apart from a main theme i'd write for the intro. no rock, nothing current sounding, nothing to date the game.

well... eventually time and money and bad management came into play and it didn't work out. disappointing on a number of levels for me, but that's the way it went.

I have seen the engine at work and it is great. i'm looking forward to seeing what they've done with the game.

and i guess tool did the theme song

Allow me to pull this thread out of the depths of trollism...

I will pull it back in.

Any word on what form of copy protection DOOM 3 will use?

You can't argue music. It's an opinion, a taste, there is no right or wrong. No matter what music they select everyone will not be happy. Even if they have no music not everyone will be happy. Just accept it.

well what do you listen to that is so different? I'm a huge music nerd, and I bet you know nothing about new york no-wave (era 77-79 such as pre-sonic youth - glenn branca), german progressive music, early experimental music, or even grindcore in the early 80s - mid 90's, how about the art-core gravity scene in the early 90's or even swedish black metal? I mean what do you know for you to act like a hot shit? I'll bet you don't know anything. For anyone to be even talking about cds is ridiculous because if you really know your music ... * whispers * you've got it on vinyl.

He should also ditch that junky typewriter he keeps using.

After reading that site, I now realize that people who type in CAPS are to be cherished, for the world could be much, much worse.

saint you moron, i didnt imply shit about any kind of expert crap - all I said is that since Im a sound engineer, surrounded by recording musicians on a daily basis, that it tends to generate a more discerning ear and makes you more picky about what you want to listen to in your free time

all you bitter, dejected fuckers need to realize that not everything is a threat to your ego - go get laid or beat up a kid or something

I was rather surprised, as he's been with Malm since 1988 or 89, I thought...

Thanks - not so good though. Must keep an eye out for the results of the case.

"oh, you must be the expert!! you must know everything about the industry, too!!

shut the fuck up, moron"

Weren't you the one implying your expert status as a recording technician or whatever the fuck you are? Stop acting like a child who gets cornered in an argument then shits their pants just to find an escape route out of the conversation.

If you're trolling you're not even fucking funny, so stop wasting posts with your worthless asstastic wit. And if you're really 26 your brain should have fully developed by now. Prove it. Or don't they teach english in whatever college drop out engineering school you attended?
