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 track features two AMAZING soloists: on violin Sandy Cameron and on cello Tina Guo. Sandy is currently on tour around the world with Danny Elfman performing music from Edward Scissorhands (look it up on YouTube, she's AMAZING) and Tina was my featured soloist on Journey (and has played on many other scores). Very very grateful to them both for elevating ACS so absurdly.
Hope you all enjoy this and the rest of the album!
