Four-time Emmy award-winning composer Laura Karpman (EverQuest II, Steven Spielberg’s TAKEN) has written the original music for UNTOLD LEGENDS DARK KINGDOM, the action-RPG launch title for the PlayStation 3 developed by Sony Online Entertainment. The fantasy score was recorded in Prague with the FILMharmonic Orchestra and Choir, with Karpman conducting. The lyrics sung by the choir were adapted by Karpman from portions of the medieval poetry text “William Wallace” in Middle Scots - the literary source for the legend of “Braveheart” - and woven into the score to complement the game’s intriguing narrative and dramatic storyline.

After writing music for Sony’s smash hit EVERQUEST II, Karpman went on to become the resident orchestral composer of Sony Online Entertainment. In 2005 she received a Game Audio Network (G.A.N.G.) award for her video game music, which has been performed by orchestras internationally. Karpman is currently an active member of the faculty of the UCLA School of Film and Television and was recently a guest composer of The Juilliard School Composition Forum.
