Journey composer shares a text commentary on his score
Leave annotations on for this one, folks. Journey composer Austin Wintory uploaded the entire Journey score filled with official and unofficial art, all with text based commentary popping up throughout this hour long listen. Journey was one of the best games of 2012 without a doubt, and it's the amazing Grammy-nominated soundtrack that helped make it one of the many reasons why. Really wish more composers would do this kind of stuff. In any case, sit back, drink something nice, and relax as you take this all in. Did you know?
