Biography

Inon Zur has composed the original motion picture score for the suspense-thriller RECLAIM (Arclight/Lionsgate) starring John Cusack, Ryan Phillippe and Rachelle Lefevre. Zur also composed, conducted and produced original orchestral themes for DISNEY FANTASIA: MUSIC EVOLVED, the breakthrough musical motion video game inspired by Walt Disney's classic animated film "Fantasia." In addition to composing the original score, Zur collaborated closely with Disney and Harmonix to produce innovative new recordings of symphonies by the great classical composers including Dvořák, Mussorgsky, Tchaikovsky and Vivaldi. Zur recorded these classical pieces with the London Symphony Orchestra and The Academy of St. Martin in the Fields at Abbey Road Studios. He also produced and arranged the orchestral version of Queen's iconic rock opera "Bohemian Rhapsody" for the game. The soundtrack was recently spotlighted in Classic FM's most anticipated video game scores guide for 2014.

Classically trained with a flair for powerful, melodic orchestral writing, Zur's rich portfolio includes epic action/adventure and fantasy scores for major video game franchises including PRINCE OF PERSIA, THE LORD OF THE RINGS (Classical MPR Best Video Game Soundtracks), DRAGON AGE (Hollywood Music Award Winner and Forbes' "Top Video Game Soundtracks of All Time"), EVERQUEST and FALLOUT, which earned him British Academy of Film and Television Arts and Spike TV nominations for "Best Original Music" (FALLOUT 3). Zur is also celebrated for his rousing action scores featured in CRYSIS, MEN OF VALOR, SHADOW OPS: RED MERCURY and SOCOM II: US NAVY SEALS. For television, Zur has scored a variety of drama, live action and animated series including GHOST WHISPERER: THE OTHER SIDE (CBS), IRON MAN (Marvel Kids), DIGIMON (ABC), STATE OF GRACE (FOX), ESCAFLOWNE (FOX) and POWER RANGERS (FOX). In film he has scored the romantic comedies AU PAIR and AU PAIR 2 (FOX) as well as the upcoming suspense-thriller RECLAIM (Arclight/Lionsgate).
