Frank Klepacki is one of the foremost modern composers for video game music. He is currently the lead composer for Petroglyph Games, formed when Westwood Studios closed due to a take over by Electronic Arts. He is most commonly known for his soundtracks for the Command & Conquer franchise. A few notable tracks include Hell March, Act on Instinct and Just Do It Up.

Frank's fusion of electronic, metal, and hints of industrial influence were key to making Command & Conquer the best-selling real time strategy series, with an excess of 35 million units sold (Wikipedia). He has also composed music for Westwood Studios' Dune games, The Lands of Lore series, The Legend of Kyrandia trilogy and Blade Runner. Frank's most recent work is featured on EA Los Angeles' newest addition to the C&C franchise: "Command & Conquer Red Alert 3". Frank composed both a new version of Hell March and Grinder (Hell March 3 and Grinder 2 respectively) on this soundtrack, as well as a new Soviet combat theme, but otherwise, this was his sole contribution as the rest of the score was completed by other composers.

In the late '90s Frank worked with bands such as I Am and Home Cookin' as a drummer, and in 2002 released his first solo album. He has since released another three albums, mostly following the style of music he used for the Command and Conquer series, but also drawing on the style he used with Home Cookin' Much of his music is available as streamed content from his own homepage at http://www.frankklepacki.com/. ...show less
