New York, September 8, 2010 - Award-winning composer and music producer Tom Salta,
who scored the action-packed orchestral music score for Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X®, the
first air-combat game set in the world-renowned Tom Clancy's video game universe,
returns to provide an all-new music soundtrack for the sequel, Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X
2. Developed by Ubisoft's Bucharest studio, Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X 2 plunges fans
into an explosive environment where they can become elite aerial soldiers in control
of the world's most technologically advanced aircraft. Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X 2 is
now available in North America for the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system
from Microsoft and the PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system. For more information

From Moscow to the Persian Gulf, from the Arctic Circle to the Indian Ocean, Salta's
dynamic original score for Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X 2 reflects the game's new multinational
cinematic story narrative. It presents emotional, dynamic themes with rousing Russian
choral chants, cinematic Middle-Eastern instrumentals, pulse-pounding combat music,
and suspenseful covert ambience. The hybrid score was written, recorded and produced
by Tom Salta; it features a live choir, electric guitar and solo acoustic performances
with A-list musicians and vocalists from the New York Film Chorale.

"Tom Salta brought a new level of engagement to the story and gameplay of H.A.W.X
2 with this fantastic score," said Tom Clancy'sH.A.W.X 2 Narrative and Creative
Director Edward Douglas. "From large-scale orchestral and choral tracks to unexpected
intimate moments, he truly takes the player on an international journey with this
soundtrack. I would not want to work on another project without Tom helming the
score."

Tom Salta is one of the most in-demand musical talents working in multimedia, including
film, television, advertising, and (most notably) video games. His previous credits
include the original scores for Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter® (GRAW
was nominated for "Best Video Game Score" at the MTV Video Music Awards), the acclaimed
sequel (Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter® 2) and the live-action trailer
for Tom Clancy(TM)'s Ghost Recon Future Soldier(TM). Salta will deliver the keynote
address for GameSoundCon at Columbia University in New York on October 2−3,
2010. For more information on Tom Salta, visit www.tomsalta.com.
