The '''''Destiny: Original Soundtrack''''' is the official soundtrack for the game, composed and directed by [[Bungie]]'s own music composer [[Martin O'Donnell]] and co-written by [[Michael Salvatori]], with contributions and input from famed Beatle's member [[Wikipedia:Paul McCartney|Paul McCartney]].<ref>[http://uk.ign.com/articles/2013/02/17/bungies-destiny-a-land-of-hope-and-dreams?page=2 '''IGN''' ''Bungie's Destiny: A Land of Hope and Dreams'']</ref><ref>[https://twitter.com/PaulMcCartney/status/221604926042816512/photo/1 '''Twitter''': ''Paul McCartney: "'I’m really excited to be working on writing music with @bungie, the studio that made Halo.' - Paul"]</ref> The soundtrack contains 44 instrumental compositions from the game.<ref>[http://www.gameinformer.com/b/news/archive/2014/09/26/destiny-soundtrack-now-available-from-itunes.aspx|title=Destiny Soundtrack Now Available From iTunes|first=Mike|last=Futter|date=September 26, 2014|accessdate=September 26, 2014|publisher=Game Informer]</ref><ref>[http://vgmdb.net/album/48297|title=Destiny Original Soundtrack|accessdate=September 26, 2014|publisher=VGMdb]</ref>


The soundtrack marked O'Donnell's final work for Bungie, after years of composing for the Halo franchise, as well as several games before that, as he was terminated by Bungie's board of directors without cause on April 11, 2014 <ref>[http://www.gamespot.com/articles/legendary-halo-composer-says-he-s-been-fired-without-cause/1100-6419021/  '''GameSpot''' - ''Legendary Halo composer says he's been fired "without cause"'']</ref>. This caused concern as to whether this would affect the game; however, Pete Parsons (current Chief Operating Officer of Bungie) stated that O'Donnell's work on the game had been completed before his dismissal and would appear in the final product.<ref>[http://gamingbolt.com/bungie-insists-destiny-is-on-track|title=Bungie Insists Destiny is on Track|author=Pramath|date=April 17, 2014|accessdate=April 17, 2014|publisher=Gaming Bolt]</ref>

==Production history==
Early in ''Destiny's'' development, O'Donnell was contacted by Pete Parsons, and was asked to begin writing music for the game. At the time, ''Destiny'' was still in its infancy, as it lacked any gameplay material for O'Donnell to score music to, so instead, O'Donnell began creating music based solely on the games ideas, stories, and artwork.<ref>[http://www.polygon.com/2013/2/17/3995972/bungie-destiny-music-marty-odonnell-paul-mccartney|title=Bungie composer Marty O'Donnell on the music of Destiny, collaborating with Paul McCartney|last=McWhertor|first=Michael|date=February 17, 2013|accessdate=February 17, 2013|publisher=Vox Media|work=Polygon]</ref> By February 17, 2013, over 50 minutes of the soundtrack had already been recorded with a 106-piece orchestra at [[Wikipedia:Abbey Road Studios|Abbey Road Studios]] in London.<ref>[http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/02/17/bungies-destiny-a-land-of-hope-and-dreams?page=2|title=Bungie's Destiny: A Land of Hope and Dreams|first=Ryan|last=McCaffrey|date=February 17, 2013|accessdate=February 17, 2013|publisher=IGN]</ref> O'Donnell gave the early pieces of music to Bungie in hopes that they would foster inspiration within the development team.<ref>[http://www.polygon.com/2013/2/17/3995972/bungie-destiny-music-marty-odonnell-paul-mccartney|title=Bungie composer Marty O'Donnell on the music of Destiny, collaborating with Paul McCartney|first=Michael|last=McWhertor|date=February 17, 2013|accessdate=February 17, 2013|publisher=Vox Media|work=Polygon]</ref>

Unlike the ''Halo'' series, where pieces of music were only 2–3 minutes long, Martin has stated that the soundtrack for ''Destiny'' has no time restrictions, with the pieces clocking in "as long as they need to be". O'Donnell collaborated with Paul McCartney on the soundtrack for the better part of two years, as they traded ideas, melody samples, and themes back and forth.<ref>[http://www.polygon.com/2013/2/17/3995972/bungie-destiny-music-marty-odonnell-paul-mccartney|title=Bungie composer Marty O'Donnell on the music of Destiny, collaborating with Paul McCartney|first=Michael|last=McWhertor|date=February 17, 2013|accessdate=February 17, 2013|publisher=Vox Media|work=Polygon]</ref>
