Brian Eno confirmed to be doing the music for Will Wright's new game Spore

Apparently, so. The legendary record producer recently appeared at lecture in Berlin. Quoting the talk's write-up:

Generativity plays a role in many fields now, with gaming being no exception. Also built around this notion and probably one of the currently most eagerly awaited games is Will Wright's Spore, for which Brian Eno, as he revealed, will be making the soundtrack! He was asked to do it, because the designers wanted sound that is just a procedural as the game itself, instead of the loops which are tied to certain stages or areas which we are used to experience in games.

Eno apparently demonstrated "The Shuffler," software which creates various combinations of the music in Spore. What's more, the software won't create the same composition twice in a lifetime. That's sure going to make a soundtrack album tricky. Brian Ashcraft

This is just fantastic. My favourite bald music man is doing the music for one of the most eagerly awaited PC games in a decade.

Will Wright, designer of Spore, is the mastermind behind the SimCity series of games.
