This is by far the largest and most complex project I've made to date, and fairly difficult to write. It originally was going to be for The Magic of Nature, and my project log says it was started in January of 2017, but I couldn't get it to meld well with the theme of the EP, not to mention I lacked a lot of the instruments back then that I now have today that were required. If some of you are familiar with that EP you may notice a familiar melody at 3:35 that I could not part with, and felt it must be there to give one final callback to everything I put into that album. I suppose in a sense, this would be Movement VI, but I feel it is its own entity. The picture I commissioned for this song is an interesting one. I wanted to return to a forest-like landscape akin to the EP, but have the scene sort of depict a conclusion to the whole arc, that is, it's set at dusk, and my character looking glum and contemplative. Now that this song is out there, I have taken a less aggressive approach for writing music and will be more laid back for the next album in progress. It will take some time, but in the meantime, I'm opening up commissions to help pay for the libraries I am going to need to work on this project. I put together a google doc that explains it best, so look here: As far as music releases go, this may or may not be the last song of 2018 depending on if I get commissions, or if I spontaneously pursue something else, it's tough to say. I don't want to keep making the same style of songs over and over again as they will get boring for both me and possibly you guys, so I'm toying around with the idea of doing a couple hybrid songs since Radiarc wants some competition in that area. I will still stick to my home genre for the most part, but there will be more branching going on in the near future to help expand my palette. Additionally, I've thought about putting together another EP that focuses on something vastly different than last year's EP. I don't want to get too much into it, but it will largely be story-driven with some themes from an episode this season that I've grown attached to. More details will be shared hopefully by the end of October, so keep on the lookout for that. And lastly, I may stream myself playing around with hybrid elements and a new song within the next month or so as I would like to connect more with you guys and continue answering questions on orchestral production. Radiarc may join me again too.
