Even in a banner year for great game music, Austin Wintory’s living, breathing score for Journey stands apart.

Wintory has posted the main theme to Soundcloud — it features Chris Bleth on penny whistle, Leif Woodward on viol de gamba, and Chris Gale on the ocarina. Since ocarina is required in all video game soundtracks according to rule #32 of the video game soundtracking accord of 1998.

Nice. So yeah, this game will be related to Zynga. That doesn’t make the music any less lovely.
