| Description: Official companion album to the 2020 video game The Pathless. Composed by Austin Wintory and featuring the Alash Ensemble, it collects the game’s meditative, non-narrative exploration cues as extended, uninterrupted mixes. Digital release (Dec 4, 2020), 12 tracks. | Description: "Because THE PATHLESS has an open world design in which the player has great freedom to explore, the music in-game is designed to be very flexible and expansive. As you roam, the score has various methods by which it remixes and rearranges material, to avoid anything ever feeling repetitious or fatiguing. The initial soundtrack album focused on the primary narrative beats of the story, specifically the Hunter's journey from start to end. As a result, a huge amount of the music was cut or heavily abbreviated. This album provides most of that cut music, and is also more representative of how one might experience it in-game. That said, the more exciting variations that are possible are skipped here too, to make for a hopefully very relaxed, introspective listening experience."
