Career
After getting his degree, O'Donnell moved to Chicago, where he expected that he would teach at the
American Conservatory of Music. The job fell through, and instead he worked as a
grip in the film and television business.
[—interview segment from 0:22:15–1:02:00.] O'Donnell began his musical career in the field after one of his colleagues who knew of his music background approached him to write for his film. O'Donnell talked to his friend
Michael Salvatori, who had his own recording studio, and offered to split the profits from the job with him; the two became constant partners.
After completing a film score and a few commercials, the two decided to quit their day jobs and produce music in Chicago;
they founded a production company, TotalAudio. O'Donnell composed the music for jingles for
Mr. Clean and
Flintstones Chewable Vitamins. After fifteen years of composing for TV and radio commercials, he decided that he wanted to work on game soundtracks and move on from commercial-sounding music. "I was hoping to find some other medium that would be new and cutting-edge and sort of the Wild West," he recalled.
Video games
In 1993, Dick Staub, a Chicago radio personality and friend of O'Donnell's, asked if his eighteen-year-old son Josh could visit O'Donnell's studio, as he was interested in computer games and audio. O'Donnell agreed, and in talking with Josh learned that he had friends in

E3 2000. After talking with
Joseph Staten, O'Donnell decided the music needed to be "big, exciting, and unusual with a classical orchestra touch to give it some weight and stature. We also wanted it to have some sort of 'ancient' feel to it."
O'Donnell came up with the idea of opening the piece with

Because he did not know how long the presentation would be, O'Donnell created "smushy" opening and closing sections that could be expanded or cut as time required to back up a rhythmic middle section.
The music was recorded and sent to New York the same night the piece was finished;
the resulting music became the basis for the
''Halo'' series' "highly recognizable" signature sound,
and what has been called one of the best-known video game themes.
The use of the chant in the main theme has been credited with contributing to popular interest in the genre. ''Halo''s music used an interactive engine to change music in response to player's actions; this non-linear method has since become widespread. The scores for ''Halo'' and its sequel ''

O'Donnell wanted to "blow out" the epic sounds from the first game.
O'Donnell also introduced a distinctive piano theme which had not been heard before, and made its appearance in the ''Halo 3'' announcement teaser. In an interview, O'Donnell stated that he has always approached music from the keyboard, and that at the

—where the trailer would first be shown—he had a feeling that, "no

"It drives everyone crazy but it worked for me in the past and it works for the game in the best way. Writing music before the end just doesn't work for me," he said.
For ''
Halo 3: ODST'', a planned
expansion to ''Halo 3'' that became a full game, O'Donnell and Salvatori abandoned all previous ''Halo'' themes and started anew.
Due to ''ODST''s shift to a new protagonist, O'Donnell created music that was evocative of past ''Halo'' but branched in a different direction.
Since Bungie was aiming for a smaller, detective story feel, O'Donnell felt that a jazz-influenced approach worked best in echoing the

In creating music for ''
Halo: Reach'', a prequel to ''Combat Evolved'', O'Donnell wanted to create music with a "grittier" feel because of the dark nature of the story.
''Reach'' was Bungie's last ''Halo'' project. O'Donnell called the prospect of writing new music both a challenge and a relief to step away from the iconic themes of ''Halo''.
In 2015, music from the ''Halo'' series was voted by listeners into the
Classic FM Hall of Fame for the first time, reaching position 244.

computer for composition. In an interview O'Donnell wished that his software would easily upgrade to newer revisions; "for the last twenty years of technology, every time a 'new' version of something comes out, the old version gets trashed and I find myself unable to do something that I used to depend on," he said. O'Donnell was involved in the implementation of his music as well as the composition, and was Bungie's Audio lead.
He composed at Bungie from a sound-proofed room in the corner of Bungie's office, dubbed the "Ivory Tower".
O'Donnell said in an interview that he feels that one problem with games is those that play music non-stop, which he feels detracts from the overall impact. Composers are forced to either write ambient music, he says, or very light music that is not emotionally driven, which he said is a detriment.
O'Donnell prefers to write music towards the end of the development cycle, because he would rather score the final timing for things like cinematics and gameplay changes.
O'Donnell credits part of the success of the ''Halo'' theme to his background writing jingles. For that music, O'Donnell had to make sure he could write music that would "get in people's heads" after 15 to 30 seconds. O'Donnell pushed Bungie to spend money on hiring singers and musicians to record the theme before Macworld as a way to present a strong showing.
