(NASDAQ:ERTS), announced today that award-winning composer Inon Zur has composed the original score for Dragon Age(TM): Origins.

The dramatic score for Dragon Age:Origins will be performed live at A Night in Fantasia 2009 on September 26 at the Sydney Entertainment Centre in Australia.
The 'Night in Fantasia 2009' concert will feature the Eminence Symphony Orchestra,a mind-blowing choir, special guest performers and a score of popular tracks from video games including Dragon Age: Origins. Vocalist Aubrey Ashburn, singer and co-writer of the Dragon Age: Origins Elvish ballad "I Am the One," will be performing selections from the game soundtrack by Inon Zur.With a powerful original score recorded by the acclaimed Northwest Sinfonia Orchestra, Inon Zur's dramatic soundtrack to Dragon Age: Origins is the perfect complement to the game's epic, cinematic qualities, full of soaring melodies and lush, emotional
orchestrations. The official soundtrack for Dragon Age: Origins will be available to purchase and download online from popular music sites when the game ships on November 3, 2009, while selected tracks from the soundtrack will be included in the Dragon Age: Origins Collector's Edition.
The soundtrack is a collaboration between composer Inon Zur, vocalist Aubrey Ashburn and BioWare Audio Director Simon Pressey. The creative team will be presenting their work during a panel at the Hollywood Music in Media Interactive Conference November 20-22, 2009, at the Renaissance Hollywood Hotel.
"From the moment you hear the Dragon Age: Origins theme to the lilting ballad, I Am The One, at the end of the game, Inon's score is hand in glove with the Dragon Age: Origins dark fantasy," said Simon Pressey, Audio Director for Dragon Age: Origins."The Dragon Age: Origins score has an originality and passion to it that illuminates the story. I am continuously awestruck with Inon's ability to tap into the essence of a project. How he gets so much feeling into a melody is simply stunning."
In Dragon Age: Origins, players take the role of a Grey Warden, one of the last of an ancient order of guardians. Now, as a rising evil threatens to destroy alllife, it is up to players to unite the shattered lands and slay the corrupted dragon known as the Archdemon. To restore peace, players must make ruthless decisions and be willing to sacrifice their friends and loved ones for the greater good of mankind.
Dragon Age: Origins will be released on November 3rd in North America and November 6th in Europe on the Xbox 360® videogame and entertainment system and PC. The PlayStation®3 version will follow later in November. Dragon Age: Origins is rated M by the ESRB.
