composer Rod Abernethy and Rednote Audio (www.rednoteaudio.com) announce their involvement in the production of the authentic and edgy score for Wheelman™, the highly-anticipated driving game starring action-film megastar Vin Diesel as an expert driver for hire. Combining spectacular Hollywood-style stunts with a gripping storyline, Wheelman provides an adrenaline-fueled, cinematic thrill ride through the winding streets of Barcelona, Spain. To enhance the experience of over-the-top car chases in this stylish setting, Rod Abernethy and Rednote Audio created the majority of the game’s intense hybrid score blending Flamenco guitars, modern electronica and hi-octane orchestral music into a heart-pounding audio experience that matches the gameplay and on-screen sequences. "Working on Wheelman was a very rewarding experience," said composer Rod Abernethy. "My goal with Wheelman was to create a cinematic, hard-hitting score that has a traditional Spanish feel with a powerful, modern style." Wheelman is developed by Midway Studios - Newcastle Ltd in close association with Vin Diesel’s video game production company Tigon Studios and is being published worldwide by Ubisoft®and Midway. The game is expected to ship to retailers March 24, 2009, in North America and has a scheduled street date of March 27, 2009, in Europe for the Xbox 360, the PLAYSTATION 3 and for Windows PC.
