Lost masterpieces

On Sound of Gaming we celebrate the greatest music from the best
video games, but what about the almost hits? The should've-beens?
The has-beens?


What happens to the music when a game gets cancelled, a character
is changed or a game is taken off the shelves? Today Sound of
Gaming is dedicated to Lost Masterpieces - music that could have
been heard by millions of players but instead has been lost to
the whims of history and the creative process, with never before
heard gems from composers like Joris de Man, The Flight and Jim
Guthrie.


The BAFTA winning composer Austin Wintory - well known for his
work on games like Journey, Abzu and the Banner Saga - talks to
Jessica today not about his hits, but about the 'ones that got
away', music he's written for pitches that didn't make it and
games that didn't see the light of day.


Plus music from games such as Alien: Isolation, Chrono Trigger
and Borderlands 3 that didn't find its way into the game, plus a
lost gem of a game score by composer Michael Nyman and other
treats you just don't hear enough.
