Winifred Phillips is no slouch as a game music composer. Not only did we give her high marks for her score to Spore Hero (an offshoot of the Spore franchise), but Music Connection Magazine named Ms. Phillips among a host of other well-known musicians in the November 2010 cover article “Superstars of Videogame Music.” Martin O’Donnell, Jesper Kyd, and Jason Graves are all counted as her peers.
Her most recent project is the score for the videogame adaptation of the film Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga’Hoole. The game is available on all current console platforms (as well as a modified handheld version on the DS). With the help of producer Winnie Waldron (handy that they have the same name, but one goes formal and the other a nickname), this game-based-on-movie comes to life with a rich, textured orchestral score.
Our full review of the soundtrack comes after the jump. Be ready for owls, magic, and magic owls. (more…)
