History
Dynamedion's founders, Pierre Langer and Tilman Sillescu, both composers with a Bachelor of Musical Arts, Arranging and Composing degree, met while employed as teachers at the Universität Mainz.[4] The two wanted to expand their creative abilities, leading Langer to suggest creating music for video games.[4] The duo experimented with several minor projects before founding Dynamedion in 2000.[4][5] The company started out developing a game in Adobe Flash, but dropped its development when approached by Volker Wertich, who asked them to work on his then-upcoming game, SpellForce: The Order of Dawn.[4] In 2009, the company launched Boom Library, a subsidiary company that creates original sound effects.[5]
