Thank you for sharing this! And gratz for the award!

Hi Stephen!! Age of Empires II has been my favourite game since I was 7 (I'm 28 now) so I grew up listening to your music, your Age of Empires II scores along with John Williams's Star Wars scores are what made me a fan of "epic" soundtracks. Age of Empires II is still getting new expansions every year and I look forward to playing them while listening to your masterful compositions. Keep up the great work, sir!!

Come here after searching Stephen Rippy when watching a YT video on making of age of empires II. Stephen your music with AoE II is a cornerstone in my gaming experience. Listening to this recording reminds me moments of fun and long hours with friends...

Stephen Rippy is a Texas-based composer with over two decades of experience writing and recording original soundtracks for games.

Since 1997, Stephen has provided music and sound design for a wide variety of titles and platforms; notable releases include Microsoft’s "Age of Empires" series, the spin-off "Age of Mythology," and "Halo Wars," as well as free-to-play mobile apps "We Farm" and "Adventure Bay."  In 2011, Stephen’s score for "CastleVille" won attention for its use of a live orchestra, a first for the social gaming developer Zynga.  More recent work includes music for Boss Fight Entertainment's "Dungeon Boss" and "Anvil:  War of Heroes."

Maintaining a separate body of work as a singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist, Stephen has independently released eleven full-length albums - most recently 2019's "Lamplighting" - and an instrumental EP ("Points," 2012.)

Stephen continues to work in the Dallas area and is likely thinking about getting started on his next record.
