I had no idea that it would turn into something so involved and collaborative,” says Ipsen. “Jim had messaged me last winter to see if I was available to play some instruments on a few tracks. I had been making darker sounding synth music for a game called Below for a bit and was very excited to pick up a guitar.”Įventually, Guthrie thought it wise to bring on JJ Ipsen, his frequent partner and fellow appreciator of classic video game soundtracks. “They were looking for real, authentic sounding acoustic based music which sounded right up my alley, and a very welcomed change at that point. “I was approached by Janesta Boudreau about potentially working on the game,” says Guthrie. His latest project with frequent collaborator and bandmate JJ Ipsen is a whimsical, upbeat and inspiring swath of instrumentals ranging from raucous rock to sweet, plaintive acoustic pieces titled You Me & Gravity, and it’s the soundtrack to an upcoming whimsical and wondrous theme park management game called Planet Coaster. Having not only soundtracked the game Superbrothers: Sword and Sworcery EP, but a handful of TV ads and films as well, Guthrie has a special talent for being able to immerse himself in something and come out the other side with a gorgeous musical tapestry. Soundtracking is an intimate, and exploratory musical endeavour, and Toronto-based singer-songwriter Jim Guthrie knows this all too well.
