From Peter McConnell - Composer

The score to Broken Age began with some background art of Vella's village and the spaceship, along with the simple idea that all the musical sound should be as live as possible. This idea grew into something none of us could have imagined: a live score featuring the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra and a small ensemble of San Francisco musicians. I am grateful to all who helped make this a reality, especially to Andrew Pogson at MSO, to Brian Min and Camden Stoddard at Double Fine Productions, to my family, and to Tim Schafer for creating such an incredible game.

From Camden Stoddard - Music Supervisor

Broken Age was a very interesting and demanding musical challenge to say the least. The themes and character journeys in Tim Schafer's wonderful story had a very wide spectrum of emotion. Shades of darkness smoothly blend into surprising twists and heroic revelations. Peter has composed an outstanding score that deftly weaves all these elements together into a warm blanket for the game. It was truly an honor to share this adventure with him and the Broken Age team!

From Brian Min - Studio Audio Director

Production of the Broken Age soundtrack represented in many ways the challenges that today's composers and musicians face. While shrinking budget have led to increased use of samples, Peter clearly shows us that recording real musicians performing live can have emotional impact that can't be matched by any technology today. I am so thankful to Broken Age for giving me the gift of this realization and a renewed passion our craft!
