Mercury Plains, by Austin Wintory

Mercury Plains

by Austin Wintory

supported by

Jonathan Killstring It's like Jami Seiber and The Ventures made a soundtrack to a Coen Brothers film.

Except that it's absolutely recognizably Wintory. Highly recommended. Favorite track: A Night in the Box.

about

Charles Burmeister's introspective MERCURY PLAINS was a wonderful canvas to play on. It's almost like an art house action film, so I found myself alternating between desolate, gentle guitar solos and vicious walls of static. As someone who finds himself writing orchestral music more often than not, projects like this are a real gift!

As ever, the performers bring the score to life and at the front and center of that is guitarist Tom Strahle. I'll let his playing doing the walking but needless to say, I can't imagine writing a score like this without a musician like him in my arsenal.

The film can be seen by going to www.MercuryPlains.com.

Celeste Original Soundtrack

supported by 115 fans who also own “Mercury Plains”

every time I come back to this album it kind of blows my mind how incredible it is. I like "video game music" but mostly just have fond memories of simcity 2k and phantasy star online soundtracks. this is on a whole other level. it's enhanced by my memories of the game of course, but it really does tell the story and stand on its own. brian
