The Uprising DLC is now available on PS3!

Watch THE FORGE, directed by Stephen Reedy here:

The music is available as a free download, but Austin will donate 100% of any proceeds from it to the National Suicide Prevention Hotline.

I’ve been a huge fan of Austin’s music since playing Journey  last year. One of the things I admire most about him is his diversity. He is also a super cool guy. :)

I was very honored to be invited to create a cover of a Monaco song. You can listen to Shadows here:

The song is available on Bandcamp. Be sure to check out the full album here ($6)!

If you enjoy the music, you can also buy the album as part of a bundle with the official Monaco OST ($9).

The video is cued to the music section. :)

I recorded vocals for a song called “Where Are We Going?”, written by Kevin Sherwood and James McCawley, which was used for this official trailer below. The song also appears in the game as an Easter Egg within the Mob of the Dead mode, and is now available on Itunes as part of the official Mob of the Dead soundtrack.

Many thanks to Kevin and James for inviting me to work on this track! :)

The full song on Kevin’s YouTube channel:

I read in the lore that the word Tamriel means “Dawn’s Beauty”. That’s why the song ended up being called Beauty of Dawn. :)

You can download Beauty of Dawn for free on my artist page on ESO’s official website.

I will be sharing more details about the writing process soon!

Thank you for watching, guys. You made this happen. The support you’ve shown for the covers I’ve shared over the last year and a half is what led to this opportunity.

Much love from Mexico,

When discussing his Skyrim score, Jeremy spoke of wanting the music to be a friend. A companion to the player. He said, “I wanted people who play this game to really not feel alone, to feel like there’s meaning to what they’re doing.”

I’ve always wondered what it is about the Skyrim soundtrack that moves me so, even now that I’m not playing the game regularly.

The music was an incredible companion through it all. Like a good friend, it was soothing at times, encouraging during others… It was lively on occasion, often pensive, threatening only when necessary, yet it never showed one hint of dispair.

This music and I spent hours in Skyrim. And now, whenever I hear it, it feels like running into a childhood friend or a college roommate years after you’ve parted ways.

The moment you see them, all the memories come back.

Whenever I hear the Skyrim score, I remember. The landscapes, the wonder, the story, the snow, the towns, the darned bears, the first giant I ran into, the dragons, the vendors who never seemed to have money when I was carrying too many dragon bones… catching butterflies, eating them, killing Lydia with fireballs without meaning to… reloading a previous save because I felt too guilty to move on without her… and that amazing long walk downhill…

It’s one mini lifetime that I shared with no one but the music.

Hope is present in every single note of this score, and during the time I played Skyrim, this hope stayed with me when I went back to reality. It became a companion in my real life.

The moment I hear it, I remember.

I’m currently in San Francisco, CA for GDC 2013. So far, it  has been a lot of fun! Such a beautiful city. :)

If any of you guys are here at the conference, I would love to meet you! Please let me know via the Contact page or Twitter if you’d like to say hi. :D

Now, I must go sleep.

Take care!
