Bethesda has announced to fans to get ready for the "Skyrim" concert that will be held in London's Palladium Theater. However, the game's composer Jeremy Soule isn't too keen on the concert.
IGN did a report on this where Bethesda Softworks has announced a live orchestral concert based on the hit RPG of "The Elder Scrolls" series to promote the October launch of "The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition" for PS4, Xbox One, and PC. Tickets will be sold to fans on Oct. 4. However, Jeremy Soule, the game's composer, felt strongly against this, telling fans to be "wary."
According to VG 24/7, the composer posted in Facebook ranting about how the company did not consult him on this. "Anyone that knows me also knows that I care passionately about the integrity of my music," said Jeremy Soule. "'Skyrim' took years for me to compose and it was constructed very carefully."
Soule added further that the concert had "nothing to do" with him. The performers "had to transcribe whatever notation they are performing by ear from the recordings," according to the composer. He mentions that the transcriptions are "flawed process" that are "fraught with errors."
As mentioned above, he mentioned to his fans to be "wary" since they might not be getting what they paid for in the concert.
Even if he acknowledged that Bethesda "can do whatever they wish" with their games, it still would have been best for him though if he was consulted or asked to participate, especially when it involves the score being rearranged, which is considered an affront to him.
"I never complain about covers of my music," stated Soule. "But when they are charging fans for an experience that's implied to be authentic, the fans deserve to know what this is."
