Inon Zur, a renowned composer for films, TV, and video games, recently conducted a 53-piece orchestra for Imagine Dragons at the Hollywood Bowl. Their collaboration resulted in the song “Children of the Sky,” which was sent to the moon on the Athena Moon Lander. Zur’s approach to scoring for “Starfield” focused on the emotions of a lone individual in space. He seamlessly blended Imagine Dragons’ style with his own to create a unique musical signature for the game.
Conducting at the Hollywood Bowl was a breathtaking experience for Zur, filled with emotion as he stood on stage surrounded by fans. Watching the Falcon 9 rocket take off with their song onboard for the moon was a special moment for Zur, a fan of space exploration and science. His advice to aspiring composers is to focus on connecting music with audiences and honing their craft.
As Zur’s music travels to new heights, he hints at exciting future projects that fans will surely anticipate. With upcoming performances of his scores by the San Francisco Orchestra, and the release of “Imagine Dragons: Live at the Hollywood Bowl” in theaters, Zur continues to captivate audiences with his musical talents.
