As the battle rages between the public and EA, more and more is being revealed about the Mass Effect title we also got before BioWare's closure. Every game is a marriage of all different kinds of artistic mediums, but the music of Mass Effect has always stood out, capturing the planet-hopping tone with remarkable panache.
Alongside plans for the plot, world design, and the current standing of the galaxy, Austin Wintory, the planned composer for Mass Effect Universe, released 22 minutes of drafted music he wrote as a love letter for the game, and a test run of it's OST. Titled 'The Music That Might Have Been', a video of the music has been released to Wintory's YouTube, already amassed thousands of views in the short time since its release.

The video itself is a remarkably transparent showcase of not only 20 minutes of music, but discussions of the intentional motifs and meanings behind each track, all primed to pay homage to different parts of Mass Effect's trilogy. Wintory was deeply affected by the original title, opening the video describing it as " . . .among my favorite all-time games," mere moments after finishing it.
