Lance is an established Music & Audio Director in Salt Lake City, UT, where he dreams up soundscapes for video games and VR experiences in any format from Binaural to 7.1 Surround.

Evokes Shadow of the Colossus...
The soundtrack is a joy to listen to. With heavily-atmospheric sound design, even its most relaxing moments have an underlying tension to them.

The music is lovely! And Lance Montgomery did a great job of conveying the sense of loneliness and longing that the game sets up so well.

The music evolves and becomes more and more grand. You could get a few of these songs stuck in your head. The music sets the tone for the game incredibly well [and] delights at a sensory level.

Both the sound effects and the subdued score add to the experience, making the whole greater than the sum of its parts.

The music is something that I can definitely listen to all day. It's got a nice flow to it. It blends in with the game flawlessly and in my opinion is a big part of the game.

It is during [the difficult moments of the game] that the calming tones of sound and music help to create a relaxing atmosphere in which it remains fun to be challenged.

Kick arse music! ...People seem to underestimate how much music can set the tone, pull you in, and tell a part of the story like no other part of the experience can. Can't wait to hear the full soundtrack!
