Nascence

When you click on the video below you will be listening to history, a first for music. That's the reason I'm posting it. Yes, it is a beautiful, mournful piece of music by Austin Wintory entitled Nascence but it is what this piece of music is attached to along with the honor it has been given, that has made history.

For the first time, in the history of music has a soundtrack been nominated for a Grammy. Now you'll probably think I'm wrong about that, you'll point to all the soundtracks over time that have received Grammy nominations and have won the coveted award and you would be right. What differs here though is that Nascence isn't part of a score to a movie, it is instead the music to the video game Journey.

It is the first of it's kind, it is the Barack Obama of  video game music. The door that has often been closed has now been opened by Austin Wintory. His beautiful creation has paved the way for other video game scores to be given the respect they are due. The score to Journey is the first but I truly doubt it will be the last, especially if those that come behind it are this beautiful. Enjoy listening to history.
