Matt Uelmen

27歲的加利福尼亞職業(yè)作曲家MATT ULEMEN自1994年起即開始了他的游戲音樂創(chuàng)作生涯，由最初的MD/GB等游戲平臺一直到對游戲音樂表現(xiàn)而言更為完美的PC平臺，他目前已是暴雪公 司的金牌作曲，由他譜曲（并主奏？）的DIABLO/2/Lord of Destruction系列的背景/主題音樂膾炙人口，深深地打動了音樂愛好者的心，該系列樂曲曲風(fēng)難以想象地將細膩、華美、詭異、磅礴、東/西部少數(shù)民 族等氣質(zhì)完美地糅合并體現(xiàn)了出來，使得音樂具有了如同鴉片般難以抗拒的吸引力。
系列 共通主題曲目《Tristram》是這一系列音樂作品的代表作，樂曲以游戲DIABLO/2中名為Tristram小鎮(zhèn)的場景為主題，使用管弦樂（古典吉 他主音），著重刻畫了這個偏遠的小鎮(zhèn)幽蔽靜謐的景象和坎坷多劫的命運。全曲由一開始的描摹小鎮(zhèn)安寧恬美的沉靜的***，中段激烈狂亂的描述小鎮(zhèn)遭遇恐怖之 王DIABLO毀滅的高潮，以及最后的象征著對地獄三兄弟的最終勝利的，描述小鎮(zhèn)在歷經(jīng)浩劫殘存之后的空曠、蕭條以及幽遠平和的結(jié)尾三部分組成，樂曲的編 排、演奏以及其表現(xiàn)的景象與意境令人嘆為觀止，曲風(fēng)蕩人心魄，卻又扣人心弦，寧靜空靈，又詭異狂亂，是吉他曲目創(chuàng)作中一個難以攀登的高峰。
