about

“In my world General”, says our plucky yet unreliable hero Ivan Ivanovich, “Laika is alive and well and currently orbiting the world several miles below our feet.”

“A better world perhaps”, replies the terrifying yet kindly General, “Very well. I shall live in your world for a while longer.”

For me, that exchange sums Little Orpheus up. On one hand, it’s a technicolour homage to the optimism, adventure and mild peril of the Republic serials of the 1930s; on the other a love letter to the unique resilience, resourcefulness and humour of the Russian people. It’s a game about an unlikely hero overcoming incredible odds in an adventure that’s almost certainly too extraordinary to believe.

But it’s really a game about hope. It’s about dreaming your way out of trouble and the joy of telling stories; a game about the triumph of the imagination. We asked Jim & Jessica to come up with a soundtrack that captured the playfulness and exuberance of the story, and the wonder of adventure. They took Disney and Shostakovich, hurled them into a blender, threw in their own special ingredients, sprinkled them with idealism and magic, baked for a few months and produced this brilliant, beautiful musical journey to the centre of the earth.

“A cake, if you like”, as Ivan would no doubt say. “But an extraordinary cake, not like any other cake you have ever known. General, it was a musical cake, that rose and rose and burst with explosions of colour and taste and dreams and magic. A cake that invites you to demand the impossible...”

Comrades! To the Centre!

Dan Pinchbeck, Creative Director of The Chinese Room

Love Flow, Journey, Abzu and enjoy Austin's music just as much, in part because it is inextricably entangled with the games but equally, it is just great music! mankeerat_singh

The Banner Saga 2
by Austin Wintory

supported by 19 fans who also own “Little Orpheus”

Une plongée dans l'inconnu avec avec des éléments déjà existants : c'est le paradoxe soulevé par Austin Wintory quand il évoque la bande-originale de The Banner Saga 2 d'autant plus que c'est la première fois qu'il compose pour une suite — et seul ce jeu vidéo a eu le droit à ce traitement de faveur. Pas de quoi avoir peur : elle est autant réussie que la première sinon plus. La pression est constante ("Under the Black Banner", "Threads Unweave"...) et les chants guerriers sont ensorcelants.

Erica
by Austin Wintory

supported by 18 fans who also own “Little Orpheus”

Austin Wintory has a lengthy discography rooted in both games and film and all of his releases have been amazing. I haven't played Erica but I've listened to this score dozens of times. It's emotive and brilliant in its composition. VenusAdonis
