Lakeshore Records in partnership with Ubisoft are celebrating the release today of Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora—Original Game Soundtrack featuring music by Emmy-nominated conductor, composer and performer Pinar Toprak (Captain Marvel, Fortnite). The album is a soaring, orchestral score that thrillingly evokes the fantastic world of Pandora and the action that ensues. The album is available digitally. Ubisoft premiered “The People’s Cry (Main Theme)” on http://bit.ly/UbisoftMusic.
Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora™ is a first-person, action-adventure game set in the open world of the never-before-seen Western Frontier of Pandora. Abducted by the human militaristic corporation known as the RDA, you, a Na’vi, were trained and molded to serve their purpose. Fifteen years later, you are free, but find yourself a stranger in your birthplace. Reconnect with your lost heritage, discover what it truly means to be Na’vi, and join other clans to protect Pandora from the RDA.
Says Toprak: “As a big Avatar fan, it has been such an honor and a joy to have scored this beautiful and breathtaking video game, recorded over two years with more than 200 musicians from all around the world.
In the score, you will not only be able to hear some homages to late James Horner’s original Avatar score but also experience the new regions and their respective sonic world which expands the score beyond what we are accustomed to hearing from the Avatar world.”
