The official soundtrack selection of Sword of the Sea.Presented by Austin Wintory.Sword of the Sea marks Austin's 3rd collaboration with Giant Squid, and 4th with its founder Matt Nava (who had been Journey's Art Director). At the heart of this album was an electronic soundscape enveloping a piano. Then came vocals, which actually began as a joke when Matt found a podcast in which Werner Herzog speculates that he'd use Orthodox monk chanting as underscore were he to make a skating documentary. Austin began writing for children's choir (performed by the magnificent Phoenix Boys Choir), and the

Команда создателей культового PlayStation-хита Journey вновь вернулась к своим корням в рамках медитативного приключения с лёгким налётом мистики под названием Sword of the Sea. Арт-директор инди-хита Мэтт Нава и студия Giant Squid не просто попытались переосмыслить концепт путешествия через раскалённые пески в поисках истины, но и внедрить новые механики, превратив скольжение на летающем мече по дюнам в упрощённую версию Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater.
