This includes his Grammy nominated score for Journey, ragtime heists from Monaco: What’s Yours is Mine, bombastic and melancholic music from The Banner Saga trilogy, murder ballads from Assassins’ Creed: Syndicate and lots more including some surprises from friends.
'I have enjoyed a collaboration with Animex for years now, but to have the chance to present an entire concert of my music - plus some of my favourites from friends and colleagues - is a dream come true. With this incredible opportunity, they have managed to take my favourite festival and make it something even more. I am preparing all new versions of much of this music, in the hope of making it a memorable and exciting concert.'
