Regarding Oni's music, O'Donnell stated in [https://halo.bungie.org/misc/nico_marty_interview.html this interview] that the first work on the soundtrack was done by Power of Seven and that TotalAudio then composed as much new music as they did, making the soundtrack a 50/50 product between the studios. Since O'Donnell and Salvatori worked closely at the time, we do not attempt to distinguish which of the two men composed each piece assigned to TotalAudio in the table at bottom.

Based on findings by [https://odysseyaudio.org/ Odyssey Sound Team], who are recreating unreleased music that was produced by TotalAudio for Oni and other games, certain tracks can be assigned to TotalAudio based on the same synthesized instruments being used for Halo CE. These tracks include '''Searching''' and '''The Hunt''', as well as the music in the [[Music/Ingame#mus_amasian1|mus_amasian]] OSBD (named by fans as '''"Up and Away"''') and the ending of '''End Titles'''. The Drum n' Bass "beats" in '''Searching''', '''The Hunt''', and '''End Titles''' originally come from the E-MU Phatt Beats sampler CD, which TotalAudio used in other projects. The unused Halo CE tracks [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8U53VnSjP94 HERE] and [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=puXwE00GGDM HERE] use beats from the same CD, as well as "A Walk in the Woods" from Halo CE. '''"Up and Away"''' also shares samples with "Perchance to Dream" from Halo: CE and "Dream Again" from Halo 3.

The atmospheric ambient tracks in Oni (collected [https://iritscen.oni2.net/wiki/ambient/ here]), some of which were strung together to make the CD's '''Ambient Suite''' and some of which are only heard in-game, are quite different from the other music in Oni, but these are also the product of O'Donnell/Salvatori. Similar ambient work can be heard in TotalAudio's score for the 1999 game [[wp:Septerra Core|Septerra Core]], specifically [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S75KEwqVC8A Secrets of Marduk], [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C6chnK88LpQ Holy Guard], [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F5lMvMaHz0c Mystic Delving], [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pBp7cIsjYg4 Biomech Heart], and [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HKWpK77vV2o The Chosen Ruins]. Five of Oni's ambient tracks are actually [[Music/Myth|reused from Myth I/II]], TotalAudio's previous work for Bungie.
