If I remember correctly Dev was doing an ambient score for Fallout 3 before the project was temporarily cancelled and Bethesda took over.

I remember this as well, wonder what happened.

I didn't know that. Kinda sucks... Game music by Devin... *Drools...

If it's true, it probably got canned when Interplay ran out of money, cancelled the game, and sold the intellectual property to Bethesda.

As awesome as Bethesda's creation was, I think I'd rather have a 9 year old top down Fallout 3 scored by Devin.

wouldn't be great a whole movie with the dev music and the stroy is related to it? like the wall of pink floyd

I don't really like movies so I'd rather see him stick to making albums

In my mind, Devin has already done a soundtrack. Ziltoid IS the Mars Attacks! soundtrack

Hah! Very true. "Mars Attacks!" is a really underrated score by Danny, though. There are moments that are just phenomenal.

I'm in media as well, and I've seen some good come from these ideas, and some bad. The good is when the composer actually knows how to do ambience (i.e. Devin) and mood music. Kinda like how Manson scored Resident Evil 1.

The bad is when it's just a series of music videos that get an "OHHHH!" reaction out of the crowd on the opening notes, then it all falls on its face for the next three minutes.... like basically every hip hop movie ever made.

It's great to hear you aspire to soundtrack work, Devin. I think this is, ultimately, where you will end up. Although, not living in L.A. will definitely make it harder. You know how that town is...

I'm a screenwriter who is dangerously close to his first script sale (hope I didn't just jinx it). If I'm ever involved in the production side of movie-making, consider yourself hired!

Another guy who would be brilliant at scoring films, IMHO, is Jason Lytle (formerly of Grandaddy). Hey, if dudes from Devo and Oingo Boingo can be preeminent film composers, why can't dudes from Grandaddy and Strapping Young Lad?

OB rules the school!

Danny was always an exceptional musician, though. He cut his teeth on Duke Ellington transcriptions before Oingo Boingo.

Would love love love to score films...

Elfman is crazy good, Oingo Boingo was crazy good.

Oingo Boingo is one of my "other" favourite bands. Along with Samael, ELO and the Velvet Underground.

I always heard a tinge of Oingo Boingo in "Bad Devil".

I always thought the same thing! It was like a heavy, demented (even more so than original Boingo music, which had its own degree of fucked-uppedness) version of Oingo Boingo. That was the first song I heard by Devin, back in like 2001, and I immediately bought everything he'd ever done. Haven't stopped listening since.

Great to hear there are other Boingo fans around here.
