“It’s amazing how those humble Spyro tunes have sparked such wide-reaching expansions and reinterpretations out in the world. What began as music created in the heat of the moment—conceived under immense pressure from my client - Insomniac Games, and in extreme haste—has gone on to leave a lasting impact. Proof, perhaps, that some of the best music is shot straight from the hip. My gratitude to conductor Tom Hillary for his outstanding interpretations, reimagining my music in new and powerful ways.” — Stewart Copeland
