AUSTIN WINTORY’S TRAVELER: A JOURNEY SYMPHONY
October 8, 2022 @ 11:00 am - 2:00 pm
Join us in person in Los Angeles on Saturday, October 8 for a very special event featuring composer Austin Wintory as we dive into his Traveler: A Journey Symphony. Adapted from his score to the video game Journey, the symphony was recently recorded by the London Symphony Orchestra and London Voices Choir and features cello soloist Tina Guo. Austin’s score is dramatic, beautiful, and complex. We’ll dive deep with Austin into the genesis of the original score as well as the new symphonic adaptation. The 234-page paperback score was recently published, and as we crack its pages open, we’re excited to arrange for attendees to purchase the score for a special discounted price of $30. You will be able to purchase the score beforehand by choosing the ticket option with score included. There will also be scores available to purchase at the event! (ASA members who are not attending in person but want a score may order one directly from Austin’s Bandcamp.) We look forward to talking with Austin not only about Traveler but about his other entrepreneurial game, film, and concert works. Ticket price includes lunch!

He has scored over 50 features, including several Sundance hits (Grace, Captain Abu Raed), and over 30 games, netting him 7 BAFTA nominations, 2 wins of the peer-voted ASCAP Composer’s Choice Awards, and a slew of other industry accolades.
His work, ranging from intimate indies like JOURNEY to massive blockbusters like ASSASSIN’S CREED, is often noted for its unique perspective and unusual approach. Austin’s scores frequently employ the use of experimental ensembles and recording techniques, merged with distinctive solo musicians from around the globe. Many of his game scores have enjoyed success in concert upon release, with performances all over the world including a recent presentation of his music before an audience of nearly 15,000 in Krakow, Poland and performance by the Royal Philharmonic at Royal Albert Hall in London as part of the first-ever BBC Gaming Proms concert. Austin’s most recent feature films include BULLET HEAD starring Adrien Brody and John Malkovich, Burt Reynolds’ final film, THE LAST MOVIE STAR, Ross McCall’s acclaimed prison drama A VIOLENT MAN, and Netflix’s limited series THAI CAVE RESCUE.
