A Hero's Triumph

Here's a video of me performing Sylvan Odyssey, a piano concerto-esque piece in one movement: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5d47sO4S_Y I was trying to write my melodies and harmonies in a video game-esque style that's very accessible and enjoyable to a non-musical person, but also employ good thematic development and solid part-writing that will keep the snobs like myself happy. ;)

The project is a musical representation of a certain part of the headcannon of a universe I created back in my artistic days.

To summarise the story: It is about a playful, young adventurer (The Wolf), residing at a mountain city where a vicious creature lurks (The Dragon). Being as curious one can be, the wolf decides to investigate the hideout. The vicious creature appears but is intrigued by the innocence of the adventurer in front of them. Friendship ensues. They watch the Aurora at night. A battle ensues and the dragon dies. The wolf is all alone but feels the presence of the dragon's spirit and their souls join. The wolf carries the spirit of the dragon and continues its adventure, promising that they will meet again.

My journey hasn't been a long one yet. I started composing back in 2013, but eventually gave up on that due to stuff happening in life I'd rather like to forget. Nevertheless, I took a hiatus of over a year until the beginning of 2016, when I started to understand what composing is about. I want to tell stories through sound and share whatever I got in mind with the world I am living in. And thus, I started composing more and more, allowing myself to do more and to take my time in doing so.

Over 200 hours of work over the span of 2 months were put in this track, a track inspired by myself, the road I've taken to end up where I am now. Inspired by themes and melodies from my old tracks and ideas that never saw the daylight, but always have stayed in mind.

All with all, I am not perfect and neither is my music. I will never be happy with what I'm doing but on the other hand, I will try not to disappoint myself. I just will strive towards perfection - to ascend as a composer, to tell my story.

It all begins here, right at this point. We only can move forward.

Expect literally everything on this channel, from fully structured compositions to pure meme material! (cold/warm colors will guide you)
My two main inspirations are Debussy and Takashi Yoshimatsu, but I love listening to anything musical and unique (even voice monologues!).
Thanks for passing by!
