Composing Journey's soundtrack was a Journey in itself. *wink* Composer Austin Wintory sat down with us for an interview to explain how this creative process gave us Journey’s memorable score. While the game’s first song was practically written the day Wintory was asked to join the project, the same would not be the case for the game’s last song, “Apotheosis.” Nothing would be harder for both the team and Wintory than nailing the end of this harrowing journey.
