Beginning

This is a track dedicated to a friend who helped me out during a very low point, and basically saved my music career from going into a coma.  The last few months of writing wouldn't have been possible without the push, I can't thank you enough man :)

With this track, I wanted to try an orchestral arrangement that was more flowing and sweeping, something I hadn't done before.  The original is so mournful and yet resolute, and I really wanted to capture that.  Still learning, but the departure from the rest of the music I've been writing lately was extremely cathartic.

Admission: I haven't actually ever played Dark Souls haha.  If you're a fan and want to chime in on how it fits the vibe of the original track, please don't hesitate!  I'd love to know where it stands.  Hope you enjoy!
