Erica by Austin Wintory

ERICA is a game unlike any I've ever worked on, or indeed ever played. Jack Attridge's goal to truly marry the cinematic with the interactive was ambitious to say the least, but from the moment I saw the earliest glimpse of it I knew I had to be involved.

I underestimated how challenging it would be to simultaneously juggle all the demands of both of film and game. The result is probably among the most technically complex scores I've yet written. Hopefully that fact is hidden by the wonderful musicianship though; the amazing soloists brought so much dark and Romantic weight to it all. As a side note, special mention must go to actress Holly Earl, whose portrayal of Erica was a privilege to underscore.

Thank you Jack, Flavourworks, and all my friends at Sony for inviting me to be part of this unique and thrilling adventure.
