LAKESHORE RECORDS PRESENTS BEYOND: TWO SOULS -
ORIGINAL VIDEO GAME SOUNDTRACK

Featuring Original Music By Lorne Balfe

(April 4, 2016 – Los Angeles, CA) – Lakeshore Records will release BEYOND: TWO SOULS
- Original Video Game Soundtrack digitally on April 15, 2016 and on CD May 6, 2016.
The album features the original score by Lorne Balfe (TERMINATOR GENISYS, PENGUINS
OF MADAGASCAR, ASSASSIN'S CREED III).

The BEYOND: TWO SOULS is an interactive drama action-adventure video game for the
PlayStation 3 home video game console, created by French game developer Quantic
Dream and published by Sony Computer Entertainment. BEYOND: TWO SOULS features
performances by Ellen Page and Willem Dafoe, which was originally released in
October of 2013 and re-released in 2015 for PS4.

"Scoring a film has restrictions, whereas scoring a game does not,” Balfe stated.
"Everyday I worked on BEYOND: TWO SOULS brought a new surprise. As a composer, you
spend your time with your head down, staring at your hands, stumbling to find a
chord progression or tense. But when I looked up at this footage, I never would have
thought it was a game I was scoring. At one moment it was a game, but then it
quickly became more far more."

Lorne Balfe is a Grammy Award-winning, EMMY and BAFTA nominated film composer from
Inverness, Scotland. Lorne is known for composing the scores to Dreamworks
Animation’s Penguins of Madagascar and Home, as well as Paramount Pictures and
Skydance Media’s Terminator Genisys.

Lorne’s credits include major studio film releases, video game franchises, beloved
animated features, and highly acclaimed documentaries. In 2014 Lorne composed the
score for Manny, a documentary about the life of Manny Pacquiao, eight-division
world champion and ten-time world title winning boxer, which premiered at SXSW in
2015. He composed the score for Dreamworks Animation’s Penguins of Madagascar that
was released worldwide in the fall of 2014. Immediately following the release of
PENGUINS, Lorne completed the score for Dreamworks Animation’s Home starring
Rihanna, Jim Parsons and Steve Martin that released in March 2015. Balfe kicked off
2016 with the release of 13 HOURS: THE SECRET SOLDIERS OF BENGHAZI.

In addition to recognition earned for producing two of Hans Zimmer’s Oscar-nominated
scores, Sherlock Holmes and Inception, Lorne found additional footing in the video
game world. In 2011, Lorne composed alongside Jesper Kyd for the game, Assassin’s
Creed: Revelations and earned a BAFTA nomination for Best Original Music. A year
later in 2012, Lorne was already hard at work composing as a solo composer for
Skylanders: Giants and Assassin’s Creed III that earned Lorne his second BAFTA
nomination for Best Original Music, as well as the nomination for the BSO Goldspirit
Award for Best Score for a Video Game. In late 2013 Skylanders: Swap Force as well
as Beyond: Two Souls were released. Lorne has since composed the scores for all of
the most recent Skylanders games by Activision.

From the visionary mind of David Cage, director of the award-winning Heavy Rain™,
comes the most powerfully emotional experience on PlayStation® 3. A singularly
unique psychological action thriller delivered by A-list Hollywood performances by
Ellen Page and Willem Dafoe, BEYOND: TWO SOULS takes you on a thrilling journey
across the globe as you play out the remarkable life of Jodie Holmes.
