Lakeshore Records in partnership with Ubisoft are celebrating the digital release today of Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora—From The Ashes expansion (Original Game Soundtrack), featuring music by Grammy and Emmy-nominated, BAFTA-winning composer, producer, conductor, and arranger, John Paesano (Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes).  Paesano’s original orchestral score merges the exhilarating otherworldly spirit of Pandora with the intense vengeance-fueled storyline of the Na’vi warrior So’lek.

Developed by Massive Entertainment – a Ubisoft Studio – in collaboration with Lightstorm Entertainment and Disney, “From the Ashes” expansion takes you on the journey of So’lek, a battle-hardened Na’vi warrior from the Trr’ong clan. Ambushed and left for dead by the RDA and their new allies, the ruthless Ash clan, So’lek awakens to a world in flames and his Sarentu family scattered. Driven by grief and vengeance, he sets out to reunite with and protect his loved ones.

Notes Paesano: “Working on Avatar was an incredible opportunity. The franchise has established a strong musical legacy—from James Horner’s original foundation, to Simon Franglen’s work on the films, and Pinar Toprak’s contributions to the games. I’m grateful to have played a small part in that continuum. Ubisoft, Disney, and Lightstorm were outstanding creative partners. I especially appreciated Simon Franglen’s guidance on the very distinct musical language of ‘Avatar’—he made the rules clear, but also pushed us to bend and expand them in the right ways.”
