Composed musical score for Spyro the Dragon

Copeland was commissioned by Universal Interactive and Insomniac Games in 1998 to make the musical score for the PlayStation game Spyro the Dragon . He would play through the levels first to get a feel for each one before composing the soundtrack. He also stayed with the project to create the musical scores for the remaining Insomniac sequels Spyro 2: Ripto’s Rage! (1999) and Spyro: Year of the Dragon (2000). Universal Interactive had different developers handle the fourth title, Spyro: Enter the Dragonfly (2002), which would be Copeland’s last outing with the series. While the soundtracks never saw commercial release, the limited edition of the fourth game came packaged with a bonus CD, containing unused tracks. The soundtracks were very well received, and one track would later appear on the 2007 compilation album The Stewart Copeland Anthology . Copeland composed a new title theme for Spyro Reignited Trilogy (2018).
