This week we’ll hear music from Gareth Coker’s original score to the 2020 game Ori and the Will of the Wisps.
The game brings together dazzling animation and stirring music in an approach partly inspired by Disney films.
The soundtrack features a team of world-class musicians, including the Philharmonia orchestra!
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 and to Anastasia Scholze for production assistance. Amanda Sewell is IPR's Music Director. Keith Brown is GAMEPLAY’s host and executive producer.
