Video Games Live Vocalist And ‘Zircon’ Put Their Stamp On Paul McCartney’s Destiny Song
Back around Destiny’s launch, we shared with you the song that Sir Paul McCartney wrote for the game’s credits. Now, two musicians who are no strangers to gaming, put their own spin on “Hope for the Future.”
Jillian Aversa is a vocalist who has appeared with Tommy Tallarico’s Video Games Live and on the soundtracks for Halo, God of War, Civilization, and more. Her husband is composer Andrew Aversa (whom you might know as “zircon”). He’s worked on soundtracks including Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix and Soul Calibur V, as well as appearing in the vast OverClocked REmix archives multiple times.
In the video above, you’ll not only hear Jillian Aversa, but you’ll see her cosplay work. She’s created costumes for each of Destiny’s three classes: Titan, Hunter, and Warlock. Her YouTube channel also includes a tribute to The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, her work with Video Games Live, and a sampling of her music you’ve probably heard in games you’ve played.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
