Last night I put up my new Adventure Synth album.
I got the BBC Symphony Orchestra VST from Spitfire Audio about a year ago and I almost immediately started writing this really epic cinematic thing and as soon as I had it sketched out I’m like “damn this sounds like a paladin song” and a switch flipped in my head: I should make a @tkingfisher themed Dungeon Synth album! That track became “Rediscovering Grace” which if you’ve read the paladin books, should make perfect sense to you. :)
I don’t think I’ve ever labored over a release as much as I did this one. I tweaked and re-tweaked and tweaked again until everything was just so. Listening over and over again in the car, on different headphones, taking notes and adjusting down to the level of, like, “flute down .5db” and such. It’s mostly been finished since the beginning of the year, with only Sarkis’s theme and the piano track at the end being done more recently.
I also, for the first time, commissioned artwork rather than bodging something together in photoshop. I couldn’t be more happy with Saga Mackenzie’s cover, it turned out so good.
Anyway, I hope you check it out. I’m really proud of this one and it feels great finally getting it out there.
Preorder is up now, and it goes live August 5th. It will go up on all the usual digital stores in the coming weeks as well.
