Lance is currently the Music & Audio Director of deeproot Studios in Salt Lake City, UT, where he dreams up soundscapes for video games & pinball machines. He is also a founding member of the successful indie Magnetic By Nature, and is preparing to launch several new entrepreneurial endeavors as a developer of interactive tech & games, and of interactive media​ for healthcare!

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!
