News::Austin Wintory: Everyone has the potential to make music

We managed to catch up to composer Austin Wintory (Journey, Banner Saga, Monaco) following his D.I.C.E. Summit talk on how technology has changed music making, and how this impacts videogame scores.


As a fellow musician and a budding game music composer, I enjoyed chatting with Wintory about how accessible tools and software have brought about the democratization of music making for all genres, even beyond games. We also talk about what it's like for him to be moving from indie games to big-budget titles and back as a composer.


Despite his accomplishments, including a Grammy nomination for the Journey score, Wintory is refreshingly humble and down-to-earth. I'm happy to have had a chance to talk with such a talented and genuine creator.
