In addition to winning the Best Instrumental Arrangement Accompanying Vocalist(s) award, his debut album, Calling All Dawns (that features the song as well) picked up an award for Best Classical Crossover Album. For all those who haven’t played the game yet, we’ve included the Swahili track below that’s a translation to a popular Christian prayer, Our Father.
Major props going out to Christopher Tin once again for accomplishing something so significant for the video game industry.
Nash, as he prefers being called, woke up to the wonders of gaming rather late but don't bring that up around him. It's a touchy subject. A self confessed Battlefield veteran, Nash spent a good part of 2010 on the Steam Battlefield - with Bad Company (see what we did there?). He has a zero tolerance policy towards RTS games but is currently showing an interest by picking up and moving people - who he refers to as units - in the office. Thank God he's not that enthusiastic about Angry Birds or we'd be seeing women flying all over the place. Bali... Bali, put the receptionist down now.
