He has worked on video game music for over 20 games including the Myst franchise, Splinter Cell, Jade Empire, and Mass Effect. Wall earned a degree in civil engineering from Drexel University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and, after a brief stint working in civil engineering, transitioned into music production. He worked with musicians such as John Cale, David Byrne, and Patti Smith, and, after performing increasingly complex production and sound engineering tasks, moved into music composition in 1995.
Wall immediately began working in the video game industry, composing the soundtrack to Vigilance. Primarily composing in an orchestral style, by 2001 he composed the soundtrack to Myst III: Exile, which was the title he says put him on the map as a video game composer.

I've never understood why they didn't make another game. This was so brilliant!

It told a complete epic story and delivered a conclusion.
I would love it to be brought back in current gen

The sad emotions that come to you when Water Dragon appears to tell of her suffering, along with this theme, truly made me cry, and also make Jade Empire propably the best story Bioware ever made to this date.

I love this song. It makes me cry and reminds me everything. I'd been playing this game 7-8 years ago, but when I listen to this... I can't stop feelings like sadness, I miss this story so much, this awesome piece of art of BioWare, which is Jade Empire. There won't be another, such great game like that. I am so sad because of it. I remember all these feelings when I was playing... I miss it.

It is impossible for a human being to kill the Water Dragon while listening to this music :'(

@Utheree I managed... but it took every ounce of strength i could muster to overcome the feelings this theme song brings forth.... but i prevailed.

This is the best piece of music from Jade Empire Soundtrack. It makes me believe that I have to do something which must be done. Great and beautiful epic game.

This song and the accompanying part of the game gave me chills the first time I experienced them.
Icehead
