Chris Jensen

Chris Jensen is the composer of the Half-Life: Opposing Force and Half-Life: Blue Shift music. With Gearbox, he also made the music for Counter-Strike: Condition Zero.

Jensen was born in the Silicon Valley and currently lives in Seattle. He has composed several albums of ambient and melodic style, "with a sci-fi twist": Avatar (2006), Prelude to the Solitude (2007), IF? (2009), and Cheri Angelique (2009). They can all be listened to for free on his official website, or purchased via PayPal, Amazon, iTunes or CDBaby.

Jensen spent his childhood in a padded soundproof room with only an analog tape recorder and an acoustic piano, while listening to Beethoven, Walter (later Wendy) Carlos and the earlier works of Jean Michel Jarre. He is also a graphic artist and photographer who creates fantastical photo-realistic worlds. He often uses the nickname "Emo Fitzmorris" or simply "Emo", and often uses question marks in titles for his works.
