Recording the "Destiny" soundtrack

For Various Artists

Last updated on December 12, 2020

In May 2012, Paul McCartney and Martin O’Donnell spent some time at Abbey Road, to work on the soundtrack of the “Destiny” video game.

This was just Paul and myself at the Penthouse Studio at Abbey Road. On a personal note, I got to have lunch with Paul, Giles Martin, and Nick Mason in the Abbey Road cafeteria. They were discussing the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee and the London Summer Olympics. Amazing moment for me.
