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
by Lena Raine

supported by 113 fans who also own “Mercury Plains”

It is literally impossible for me to pick one favorite track from this game, all of the music is my favorite! However, if I did have to pick one, I'd pick First Steps. It's the perfect introduction to the grand journey that Celeste is and is really nostalgic to me, reminding me of when I first found Celeste Classic and discovered there was a much larger adventure with Madeline waiting for me at the peak of Celeste Mountain! sdg1
