The score for the game I Am Alive was created by composer and sound designer Jeff Broadbent.

He is also well renowned for creating the original score for Transformers: Dark of the Moon video game.
From the Official Press Release
“Jeff Broadbent’s music for I Am Alive perfectly captures the atmosphere and emotion of the game,” commented Sergei Titarenko, Producer, Ubisoft Shanghai. “The music matches the creative direction.”
“Creating the score for I Am Alive was an exciting undertaking,” said Jeff Broadbent. “The unique nature of the game allowed for a very creative and experimental approach to scoring. After first hearing of Ubisoft’s concept and direction for this title, I knew it was a project that would allow for creative freedom and exploration.”
The I Am Alive original score combines sublime ambiance, emotional intensity and thematic compositions to immerse players in this post-apocalyptic survival experience. As composer Jeff Broadbent explains, “A sense of environmental desolation was essential in crafting the aural landscapes of I Am Alive. Because of this, the music often uses ethereal and sound-design inspired approaches, blending organic and synthetic elements to create the sonic imagery of devastation and abandonment within a crumbling city. The quest of our unnamed protagonist to survive and protect the young girl Mei allowed for the use of poignant emotional themes and motifs.”
