David Bowie and Reeves Gabrels, Bowie's collaborator and guitarist since 1989, worked closely with the game's developers, Paris-based Quantic Dream, to create original music for the game, including eight new songs. Bowie also plays the role of Boz, a character in the game, and appears along with Gabrels and bassist Gail Ann Dorsey in a virtual band, which performs in several bars in the massive Omikron city.
