About Chris Krycho

In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. I don’t even remember how old I was the first time I saw Star Wars, but I do know that the moment when John Williams’ “Binary Sunset” cue started playing—French horn against tremolo strings—stamped me in a way I will never forget. What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Austin Wintory, Journey (Original Video Game Soundtrack) Die 12 Cellisten der Berliner Philharmoniker, Gidon Kremer, Keith Jarrett, Arvo Pärt: Tabula Rasa pg.lost, Versus Arvo Pärt has many great works, but Tabula Rasa is the one that I fell in love with first. Wintory’s score for Journey is not only his best work, but the best video game score of all time. And pg.lost’s Versus is the best working music in my library. Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special. Tell us why you chose this song. “Fanfare for a New Era of American Spaceflight (feat. Budapest Scoring Orchestra)” This fanfare was the first piece of serious music I sat down to write in nearly a decade. Watching SpaceX put American astronauts in space on American rockets, my wife and daughters at my side, was an incredibly exciting and special moment. What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? Every time I share my recording of the Budapest Scoring Orchestra playing my Fanfare for a New Era of American Spaceflight, and see people respond with delight. It never gets old. Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? I would love to finish a symphony and see it find an audience: to get a premiere, and then get played again, and again.
