Ryzom picks up Anarchy Online musician

Nevrax, the Paris-based developer of The Saga of Ryzom, said that it has signed veteran game musician Bjørn Arve Lagim to create the music for the upcoming massively multiplayer online role-playing game. Lagim was formerly the audio director at Funcom, which is based in his home country, Norway. While at Funcom, he created the sounds and music featured in the adventure game The Longest Journey and the MMORPG Anarchy Online. “I work toward creating music that gives the game both a musical identity and sets the tone," says Lagrim. The Saga of Ryzom is scheduled for release in September.
