notes: '“Don''t be tardy or you''ll miss your party!”

  Celebrate the vibrant world of Viva Piñata with this newly crafted reorchestration
  of Grant Kirkhope’s iconic score—reimagined and enhanced by Kirkhope himself. Pressed
  on 2xLP confetti vinyl and housed in a beautiful gatefold jacket, this edition stands
  as the definitive way to experience the soundtrack, bringing renewed vibrancy, clarity,
  and emotional depth to every beloved theme from Piñata Island.

  Performed by The City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra and recorded at Smecky Music
  Studio, this lush new production elevates the whimsy, charm, and sweeping orchestral
  color that made Viva Piñata unforgettable—now presented with cinematic richness
  and refined detail. Mixed and mastered by Gareth Williams, the soundtrack shines
  with warmth, balance, and polish befitting its orchestral scale.

  Featuring liner notes by Justin Cook, lead designer for the Viva Piñata series,
  with additional reflections from composer Grant Kirkhope and designer and animator
  Steve Mayles, this release offers an intimate look at the creative world behind
  the music and its enduring legacy. Completing the package is stunning album artwork
  by Steve Mayles, capturing the joyful explosion of personality and color that defines
  the series.

  A must-have collectible for fans of orchestral game scores, charming musical storytelling,
  and Grant Kirkhope’s timeless melodies—don’t be late, the party’s already started!

  "I have to say, working on Viva Piñata was one of my favourite projects. It was
  the first time that I got to use live orchestra and I really didn''t know what to
  expect. All the preparation for the sessions went well with the awesome Nic Raine,
  who did all the orchestration for me, and has been a friend ever since, but nothing
  prepares you for that first note when they start to play your music ….. truly breathtaking!

  I think I shed a tear after the first few notes of Island Welcome, it was fantastic
  to hear my music being played by real people, they bring it all to life in a way
  that only humans can.

  I remember at the end of the sessions for Viva Piñata: Trouble in Paradise, the
  last piece to get recorded was Bedtime Story and James Fitzpatrick, who was the
  orchestral contractor, said I should go into the recording room and thank the orchestra.
  I got up on the podium and started to say how much I loved their playing but burst
  into tears before I could get the words out, I think they got the point … haha!

  Getting a BAFTA nomination for this score was just incredible, as a Brit I''d seen
  the awards ceremony over the years but never dreamt I''d be a part of it, truly
  something I''ll remember forever.

  I''m so pleased to be able to bring this score back, recorded with the same orchestra
  in the same studio that I originally did it. I hope you enjoy it as much as I have
  revisiting it." - Grant Kirkhope
