REVIEW ~ "Penka Kouneva has combined her remarkable and unique voice as a composer, along with some of L.A.’s most wonderful and expressive musicians, to create her newest collection of music for Film/TV and Video Games. "A Warrior's Odyssey" is jam packed with exciting action cues, haunting emotional cues, and everything in-between! From pounding percussion and ethnic voices, to soaring cello and violin melodies! Penka uses every tool in the composer’s toolbox to tell her musical story—a story of missions conceived, battles fought, glorious success, and heartbreaking loss. But, more importantly, a story of hope undiminished! In more ways than one, that is Penka's story ----- "A Warrior's Odyssey" ~Greg Edmonson (BAFTA-winning composer, "Uncharted" 1, 2, 3)
