This week: music from the immersive and emotional score to Horizon Zero Dawn.
It's a soundtrack that brings to life a game world that’s both prehistoric and futuristic, full of natural beauty, tribal societies, and giant robotic beasts.
Generous support for the music heard on this program comes from the Robert T. and Ruth Haidt Hughes Memorial Acquisitions Fund. Special thanks to Michael Culler for engineering assistance. Amanda Sewell is IPR's Music Director. Keith Brown is GAMEPLAY’s host and executive producer.
