Description: Austin Wintory has been banging out some of the most acclaimed soundtracks in video games over the last 10 years: Journey, Abzu, and The Banner Saga trilogy just to name a few. I took a look at these and a couple other of Wintory's past soundtracks to try and break down how he constructs what is arguably the most important part of a soundtrack: the main theme.
