Music for The Game Awards 2021 opening sequence

The Game Awards opening ("Saintangel")

Morgan’s composition, ‘Memory Lane’ is composed for a scene from a short film called ‘5 Things You Need To Know About Dying’. This short film follows two reporters on their quest to interview hundreds of dying people about their experience and what are the ‘5 things’ one needs to know about dying. The dark comedy takes an unexpected twist when the reporters realise the mundanity of their own lives and decide to quit their job and start living. 

The scene in which Morgan’s music accompanies, has a sentimental feeling. It shows Phillip, the main character, looking through a photo album and upon finally reaching the last page discovers a ribbon from his former girlfriend/spouse. What happened to her? That’s to be interpreted. 

Composed for ICC TAKEOVER by Jake Morgan, Recorded by Robert Coleman in the Royal Irish Academy of Music and conducted by Morgan himself.

'Courage' in F Major, is a piece of music I wrote when the whole world went on lockdown. It's to pay homage to the people that braved the conditions daily to help others, and a celebration of the human spirit!

Courage

'Taiscéalaíocht', means 'Exploration' in Irish, and this cue is a fusion of styles that I've always wanted to explore!
