Austin Wintory's Grammy-nominated original score for Journey skyrocketed his career.
For the game’s 10th anniversary, he totally reimagined the score as a work for full orchestra and chorus, and brought in several soloists he’s collaborated with over the past decade, including cellist Tina Guo and multi-instrumentalist Kristin Naigus.
Listen to this week's episode to hear more from Wintory about his close collaborations with musicians.
