Composer Notes….
I was absolutely fascinated with writings of St.Augustine in that period. I traveled a lot in that period across the Europe and in every city I look for cathedral and churches, l listened concert in St.Deenis cathedral for example – beautiful acoustic! I became interested in Gregorian Chants and all that religious experience together with the element of the story of Genesis Rising bring me to that idea. I took the most beautiful words from “Confessions” of St.Augustine and put them in my music and that was it. Everyone was very pleased with that idea.

Music4Games “I never thought I’d say the “love theme” would be the best song on any album, but on “Genesis Rising”, certainly. Just listen to that brass section falling in love with the soprano (Jana Milicic) after only delivering a brief passage. What follows is a sensual build up and mutual back and forth with the choir.“

Gamespot “…a great soundtrack comprised mainly of epic choral odes give the game a unique audio identity.”
