JESSICA CURRY SPECIAL THANKS

Oscar Pinchbeck (best son, funniest person, and all-round the most heart-meltingly brilliant person that I know). Dan Pinchbeck (best maker of games, jokes, food, handy eye, and love). Jim Fowler (orchestral wizard with a good heart to boot). Marcie (sister, FIJWD, friend, ally). The wonderful players of LSO (so modest, so talented). AIR Studios (thanks for bringing me back into your friendly and welcoming kingdom). Jason King's Cone (what an amazing day!). Google Daydream (for the magic and endless kindness you had faith in this beautiful, crazy game). All the members of my brilliant team who made this possible, and to all the people that support my work, especially those that tweet, email, cheerlead, share, buy, listen, appreciate. Thank you so much. I couldn't do this without you.

This one's for my mum - Chris Curry Cliff.
She's the woman who taught me to be fearless and full of joy: both precious and cherished gifts.

"So Let Us Melt is a bedtime story; a lullaby about being lost and getting found again. It's about a bunch of machines who are built to help and who love playing and singing with each other as they go about their work. It's all about songs and friendship and the fireside stories we tell each other. The music needed to capture all that energy, that movement. It needed to travel from wonder and elation, to despair and horror, and back to hope, magnificence, and joy. All set in a story that spans over ten million years without ever losing the central principle of two little machines that become great friends and set off on a great big adventure together."

"When you condense the game and what the score has to do into a paragraph like that, you feel pretty good about the fact that Jessica Curry is on it. She's at the vanguard of a generation of composers proving that games are an incredible source of fantastic, innovative, engaging modern classical music."

"So Let Us Melt stands on its own as a brilliant musical journey. It has an energy and a passion and a soul that erupts with the bittersweet joys of just being alive and making gardens, making children, making worlds and leaving them behind for others. It makes me cry and it makes me laugh out loud. So Let Us Melt is an anthem to being alive."
