Jonathan Coulton contributes to The Orange Box musical score

Posted Oct 4, 2007 at 11:35PM by QJ Staff Listed in: PS3, Xbox 360, PC Gaming Tags: The Orange Box

Valve just announced that they will be featuring a "surprise single" of Jonathan Coulton - once a computer programmer, now a modern day rock star - in Valve Software's The Orange Box (PC, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3). The songwriter is well-known for his creative lyrics of all things geeky, including math, video games and science fiction.

According to the announcement made via press wire, Valve will feature the song in its original cut, as it was a product of collaboration among co-author Coulton, the Valve design team, and Valve's community of fans. Valve specifically sought the help of Coulton to come up with single for the game's upcoming release.

"I am delighted the Valve design team selected me to help make the surprise single a success. If it's not every geek's dream to be immortalized in a video game, it was mine," said Coulton. The Orange Box will hit stores in October 10 for the Xbox 360 and Windows PC.
