Austin Wintory: Descent

One listen, and with this one I just sort of followed the instruments and what they were doing. It kind of worked, kind of didn’t, but I’m happy with the result.

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

I hope you enjoy.

Sounds glimmer in a darkness before being swept away by something. It shows for a moment, then disappears, and percussion falls around it, presses on down.

Sounds continue to shine a little, and a brief flash of something else in the darkness. A brief build before falling away. Searching, looking in this hidden space. Patrolling.

Tension and danger mounts as a hazard continues to move around in this darkness. It approaches, and it moves fast and smooth. It seems to just glide around, and it locates and comes after, and approaches and approaches and strikes out.

Before it can be confirmed that it succeeds, the song ends.
