Artist Biography
Available in:

Austin has scored over twenty five feature films, most notably 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 (Grammy 2012 nominated for Best Score Soundtrack For Visual Media).
