A Playwright's Tale (The Journey of Iesir)
Game Information
Notes
A Playwright’s Tale (formerly known as The Journey of Iesir) was the first video game for which I ever wrote a soundtrack, having previously focused mostly on church and concert works for live performance. It’s a comedy about a young playwright who journeys through a land of Vikings. I wrote about 45 minutes of music for the game, and learned so much in the process! Our team was planning to make it a commercial game, but unfortunately that didn’t work out for a variety of reasons. So we ended up releasing our publisher pitch demo as a free game. I was privileged to work with Daniel Swearengin, a professional composer and sound designer, who taught me how professionals produce music and sound for games and films.
This soundtrack was nominated for Best Music and Sound at the 2016 AGS Awards.
