Austin has a very unique musical style. It’s as though he just lets the music come through him with no real effort. Every song we have worked on together has been like fresh air to me. I’m so happy to know him and work with him.
Simply put, he’s one of my favorite persons to work with and definitely the best composer with whom I’ll ever have the chance to collaborate. Austin has a knack for finding great textures and sounds to his compositions. He takes any idea I give him and comes back with a superb and emotional track. He likes to say that music is the soul to a game, and I’ll say that he’s correct, because he puts so much soul into the games I design. Austin created the spectacular soundtrack to The Silver Lining, one of the most beloved aspects of the games by the fans. If you ever decide to give him some work, you will never be disappointed. He knows how to read directors, and gives them exactly what they want.
Austin is now one of my top 5 composers. His music is moving and engaging. There is so much emotion and passion and heart and soul in every note he writes. For The Silver Lining, Austin wrote lush, orchestral scores that carried the emotional and spiritual themes of the game. In Cognition, he completely reinvented himself by playing driven guitar riffs, incorporating electronic and acoustic music. His music was truly the heart and soul of our games.
Austin’s a great guy to work with. Not only on a personal level, but professional as well. He has the gift to give every scene a matching music piece which just immerses you into every single bit of it. If you need music for your projects, whether it has to be dramatic, epic, easy-listening, or ethereal, look no further:, Austin’s your guy! Highly recommended!
Austin Haynes’ ability to interpret a moment and breathe life into it with original, inspiring and emotional music is one of his many talents. In film and video productions, he achieves high-quality results with a quick turnaround without difficulty. His music is layered with levels of originality that beg for repeat listening. He is a thoughtful collaborator, an intuitive composer, and highly intelligent in the language of music.
It was a delight to work with Austin on a personalized piece for my significant other. From start to finish, Austin was quick to respond, and consistently showed great energy, understanding, and enthusiasm. He created a sensitive, sweet, hopeful score just like I had in mind, and the piece became an essential part of a very special proposal.
