Fossil Echo - Announcement Score

An excerpt of the original score for the upcoming video game Fossil Echo.  

Fossil Echo's music is written as a series of interactive pieces, overlapping, interweaving and repeating as needed to support the action on screen.  As such, I've tried to give you a taste of a musical sequence from the game in a linear form.  
Enjoy!

Fossil Echo - Release Trailer

Fossil Echo is the culmination of more than two years of work, and I’m incredibly pleased to finally be able to share it with you.  The game tells the story of a young boy climbing a mysterious tower that rises from the middle of the sea.  How he got there, why he’s on this quest, and what he’ll find at the top are all things you’ll have to discover for yourself as you make your ascent.

With its beautiful hand-drawn and animated art style and incredible environments, Fossil Echo immediately captured my imagination, and was an absolute joy to score, and giving a voice to the strange and wonderful world created by artist and designer Philippe Crifo was a genuine pleasure.  

Depicting a world equal parts haunting, beautiful, and dangerous, with flashes of real beauty around every corner is every composer’s dream, and I hope you enjoy listening Fossil Echo as much as I enjoyed writing it.

Fossil Echo releases on July 1st, 2016.
