The Cult of Rapture
now offers downloads of the musical score from BioShock as a collection of a
dozen mp3 files. They have their own write-up, but I'm digging the description
from the press release, if nothing else for its use of "aleatoric":
Today,
2K Games released the original score to BioShock as a free download on The Cult
of Rapture website. The score was created by film, television and video game
composer Garry Schyman and features a combination of early twentieth century
writing, aleatoric elements, musique concrete, traditional tonal and late
romantic styles that capture the distinct retro-futuristic aesthetic of the
game.
