Austin Wintory: The Call

One listen and I was considering doing this yesterday, but other things to work on.
I think I did okay here. Just went in, Let whatever come forward, didn’t actively think too much. Could be better, could be worse.

Austin Wintory’s “The Call” is from Journey, the soundtrack for Journey.

I hope you enjoy.

A high pitch of sound, possibly woodwind, and from it comes string, humming along. Something low, windy underneath blows and the string follows that wind. A rush builds, grows loud, grows massive, swallows everything into a cacophony that suddenly stops and lets all fall to brief silence.

Sound returns, percussion rustles above a flat, scraped space. string lingers for a moment, then disappears. Other sound takes shape, loops, repeats, and something starts emerging forward. Sound builds again, crying out, then fades as woodwind drifts on in.

A strike. melody and drama rise for a moment, full, then settle as string repeats its following of the wind, seemingly stuck on a few moments as the underneath fills out more space. It’s not long, before it stops and the song ends.
