In film, he is well known for the 2009 Sundance hit GRACE, as well as the 2008 Sundance Audience Award winner CAPTAIN ABU RAED. His score for the former garnered many horror film genre accolades, including a nomination at the 2010 Fangoria Chainsaw Awards for 'Best Original Score,' and Vision in Sound's Top Ten Scores for 2009. The latter was listed by the LA Times as a contender for the 2009 Academy Awards for 'Best Original Score' and also won Austin the Hollywood Music Award for "Best New Composer." The combined success of those films, along with several others, prompted The Hollywood Reporter to list Austin as one of 15 composers "Primed to take their place on the A-list," as well as a nomination by the International Film Music Critics Association for "Breakout Composer of the Year."
In addition to feature films, Austin has a tremendous passion for the world of game scoring. His first major game score for thatgamecompany's flOw in 2006 earned Austin a British Academy Award nomination and triple nominations at the Game Audio Network Guild awards ("Innovative use of Audio," "Best Interactive Score" and winning for "Rookie of the Year."). Perhaps most notably, his score for thatgamecompany's much lauded 'Journey' (2012) debuted as #1 in iTunes' game soundtrack charts, and made history as the only video game score to be nominated for the Grammy 2012 Best Score Soundtrack For Visual Media. He also scored 'Assassin's Creed Syndicate' (2015), which won International Film Music Critics Association Awards's "Original Score for a Video Game or Interactive Media" award, and 'The Pathless' (2020), which won Game Audio Network Guild Awards's "Best Music for an Indie Game" award.
Austin also maintains a busy schedule writing concert music and composing/producing albums. In addition to more traditional chamber and orchestral music, in 2010 he released a meditation album entitled "Sounds of Darkness" using never-before recorded sacred Aztec chants. 2010 also saw the launch of Allogamy, an ambitious blog in collaboration with photographer Andrew Berglund which posts a new photo with a new piece of music for every single day in the year.
Since 2003, Wintory has composed over three hundred musical scores.

This is a very great soundtrack. My favourite of yours would probably be Tooth and Tail. I'm still getting my cyberpunk animal game soundtrack in the works, inspired by the following:
Michael Giacchino's Zootopia and Thor: Love and Thunder
Joby Talbot's The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and Sing 2
Daniel Pemberton's Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse and The Bad Guys
Mark Mothersbaugh's The Lego Movie, Thor: Ragnarok, The Mitchells vs. the Machines, and Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart
Daft Punk's Tron: Legacy and Random Access Memories (my all time favourite album)
Jean-Michel Jarre's Oxygène, Équinoxe, etc.
Vangelis' Blade Runner (R.I.P. 1943–2022)
…and other synthwave stuff from John Carpenter, Tangerine Dream, Stranger Things, etc.

Also one of my favorite scenes and musical moments of the game. Really captured the magic.

The “As Noted”s for this game specifically are the most interesting to me, it’s so cool to see how you scored the harp parts and the background synths, the individual sounds of which normally blend into the background without seeing the score
Oh and this is probably my favorite of your pieces, which was a very hard decision to make
Austin Wintory
Thank you! Stay tuned for THE PATHLESS from the same developers :) Lots coming very soon
Joanne Moo
Gorgeous. So cool to see the score and the instruments dancing to each other. The glass effect added so much to it.
Robin
Stunning as always, Austin.
SPLINTERBORN
All your scores are fantastic. Real talent right here. This or Journey may be my favourite but I'm not sure.

3:39 ingame the music gets accompanied by the whale song while it pans out, it's the most wonderful moment while you sink into the darkness and then your light flickers on, taking you from this musical high to a halt. It left quite the impact on me.
Abysoon
Back with the best relax game of the century

So good! I listen to your Abzu score and David Garcia Diaz's score for Rime at work all the time. Such a beautiful score for awesome moment in an amazing game :)
Michael Seraph
I love the harmonies in this one so much, thanks for making it easier to analyse!
