I collaborated with Crusader Kings III to create an original song for Legends of the Dead
🕑 Added 2024-03-04 17:27:23 +0000 UTCIt's been tough sitting on this one for a few months, but the day is finally here! Paradox approached me a while back about writing a song for their expansion Legends of the Dead. The brief was to make something themed around death, legend, and memory, so I approached it as a bit of a funeral dirge. The video I've linked contains the extended version of the song, but I have also attached the short instrumental version I created.
I pulled inspiration from were "May it Be" and "Into the West" from Lord of the Rings, as well as most of Loreena McKennitt's works. I also listened to a few Requiems and masses for the ending, which uses that familiar Latin text kyrie eleison.
I'm really over the moon about having work of this nature, and hope to do more collaborations like this in the future. It would be pretty great to work with some of the streaming platforms if there's ever a show that aligns with my style. In the meantime I'm still working on some fun Bardcore covers!
Thank you all, and I hope you have a wonderful start to March.

Haha, thank you, I'm glad life is pretty good! I haven't considered that, since I've been mostly focused on Spotify and Apple music. I can look into it though.

One day I'd love to explore something like that!

Oh I wish! But in this case I used art by the great N.C. Wyeth.

Another masterpiece! Excellent work

Excellent! Did you, perchance, also carve the illustration by your own right hand? Rooting for you to get the commissions you desire!

Now this is a collaboration I never expected but in retrospect seemed inevitable

Thatโs a gorgeous song! And Iโm so happy youโre getting asked to work on so many video games, your music is fantastic

When you can't stop listening to a funeral song although your life is pretty good at the moment and all the people you care about are fine, then it must be that your favourite female singer released another song. Thank you, dear Hildegard! Oh, I wonder if you'd ever consider(ed) releasing your music on Bandcamp?

So great! Made my day! (It's raining right now so I'm just going to leeeean into these haunted vibes...)

This was beautiful! Another interesting idea: work with Jackson Crawford to find a song to sing in Old Norse or Simon Roper for something Old English

Best crossover ever ๐
