He still composes for film however, his latest being Brush with Danger directed by young Indonesian director Livi Zheng.
[4] He scored the sequel, released in 1996, and 1995's Off-World Interceptor, but afterward Weaver left the company and the games division of Phillips was shut down.
[2] Rather than move to a new video game company, Schyman left the industry and did not return for almost a decade, later stating that he felt that it was "not a very interesting place for composers at that time" as the budgets were low and the technical music quality poor.
[3] After "orchestral work in TV took a nosedive", according to Variety, he returned to the industry in 2005 when THQ approached him to compose the soundtrack to Destroy All Humans!
[5] They offered him a budget large enough for an orchestra and were looking for a style that he found interesting, reminiscent of 1950s movies, and he eagerly accepted the opportunity.
[2] The score was appreciated by critics, and was nominated for the Game Audio Network Guild's "Best Original Instrumental Song" and "Music of the Year" awards.
[7][8] In addition to his commercial work, he has written a 15-minute viola concerto entitled "Zingaro", published by Century City Masterworks.
[9] He also composed the song "Praan", originally written by Rabindranath Tagore for Matt Harding's "Dancing 2008" viral video, which earned him the "Best Music Video" award at the Hollywood Music Awards,[10] and the song "Trip the Light" (sung by Alicia Lemke) for Matt Harding's "Dancing 2012".
[11] In addition, "Welcome to Rapture" from BioShock was performed by the Metropole Orchestra at the Games in Concert 3 event in Utrecht, The Netherlands on November 15, 2008.
