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's H.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."
