Usually ships in 3-6 business days

The Ivor Novela award-winning Horizon Zero Dawn soundtrack has been a collaboration with composers Joris de Man, Joe Henson, Alexis Smith, Niels Van Der Leest and the Guerrilla Games Audio Team. Opting for a thematic approach Horizon Zero Dawn has a strong motif that plays often in many variations throughout the game ensuring a cohesive soundtrack. The first piece of music entices us, we hear Julie Elven's solo voice slowly moving through the theme. The use of the female voice is very powerful in this context and is an apt choice considering the relation to the female protagonist Aloy. Once exploring the open world of intensely gorgeous environments, music isn't always overbearing, drawing our attention instead, to the sounds of nature around us, but always serving to warn us of any threatening machines that may be aware of our presence. Battle music is never overstated but instead reflective of the electronic/digital origins of the enemies. Percussion is the natural contrast to the digital sounding world of the machines, instead of reflecting the tribal themes of living in the wild, with fear of futuristic ruins. There are often places in the game where music becomes a part of the world, where drummers are performing and singers take the stage around villagers, singing and praising. In July 2017, the Horizon Zero Dawn soundtrack won a Jerry Goldsmith award for the best original score in a video game.
