Биография

BAFTA nominated composer Winifred Phillips is one of the most successful and accomplished composers for video games. Her dramatic large-scale works convey an “epic cinematic sound” (ScreenSounds) that “drives her music forward in grand orchestral fashion” (Film Score Monthly), while her more lighthearted scores are “captivating” (Washington Post). Phillips has composed iconic music for titles from six of the biggest franchises in gaming: Assassin’s Creed, LittleBigPlanet, Total War, God of War, Lineage, and The Sims. She was most recently nominated for a BAFTA award for music she composed for the smash-hit game Sackboy: A Big Adventure. Phillips’ scores have received numerous awards, including the Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences Award for Outstanding Music Composition, six Game Audio Network Guild Awards (including Music of the Year), and three Hollywood Music in Media Awards. Her music has also been featured in trailers for Avengers: Endgame and Disney’s The Jungle Book. Phillips is the author of the bestselling book, A Composer’s Guide to Game Music (The MIT Press). Film composer Harry Gregson-Williams said, “Winifred Phillips’ passion and understanding of this medium comes to life on the page and is a direct result of her vast experience and accomplishment in composing for video games.” Phillips' music has been performed in celebrated concert halls around the world as a part of the Assassin’s Creed Symphony World Tour.
