I'm a little curious, who runs the Project Destati blog? I'm very pleasantly surprised that you consistently reblog Kingdom Hearts despite the drought, in fact you may be the most active KH blog that crosses my dash. I thank you every day 😭

(also, big fan of your Light and Dark album!! Working Together, Passion on Piano, Home of the Dragons, and every character theme are my fave pieces 🥺 I've discovered you lot around when Dark came out and I've been a fan ever since. Any chances you're working on an album atm?)

Hah thanks!! It's mostly me (David) here on tumblr, but all three of us (Kristin, Sebastian) have access to this blog, and we'll take turns queuing up posts^ With the relative lack of KH news lately, it's been hard to make enough money to afford our big dream of hiring an orchestra for every track in the final album we'd originally planned. (If you want to help, stream & share our music with your friends!) But we're still putting together tiny things here and there. Here's a teaser--

Is there a reason why Project Destati: Light was taken on apple music?

Nah: it’s a bizarre issue that seemed to affect a lot of musicians and musical groups, apparently. Not sure what the cause was, but we resolved LIGHT’s distribution to all other platforms. For some reason, apple music and itunes takes much longer to host music, but it will return there eventually. Elsewhere, it’s available here: https://materia.to/lightTW (we <3 bandcamp)

Why did you pull Light from Spotify??

haha, we didn't pull it--there's an issue with distribution that shouldn't have happened. Looks like its affecting musicians and labels all over the place too [1] [2] [3]. It will be back again as soon as possible!

Hi! I had a question about your Light album. It doesn't appear to be available in any form through iTunes? Is there a way to get it still, or is it only available through Spotify? Thank you!

Hey! At the moment, Light seems to have been made unavailable for some reason, but we expect this issue will be resolved over the course of the next week while we get some information from our original distributor about why this happened. For now, while we resolve this, the tracks remain on our youtube channel  free to listen to^^

Hope y'all are doing well given the circumstances. Just had two questions regarding your third album (which I can't wait to listen to!): 1) Do you anticipate it being closer in length to Light or Darkness and when can you reveal the title? 2) Apart from KH3 what other games in the series will you be making arrangements from and how much of the album do you anticipate being dedicated to KH3? Thanks. (Bonus: Y'all's favorite track from KH3? For me its probably the battle theme for Scala.)

Thanks! Hope you’re well too! 1) It’s probably closer to Darkness, in length...assuming we don’t cut any tracks mid-production. Title reveal will likely be when the arrangements are finished and after we book the recording session. I think it’d be better to not have a year-long wait like Vol 2 hahaha 2) This is really the first series of questions we’ve gotten about album 3. I don’t wanna give away all the cards just yet, but I’m really excited about this work and can probably say a few things. Our tracklist is decided, and it’s roughly one-third KH3/0.2/BackCover music, and the rest are tracks that we’ve been excited to tackle since we started this project. It spans tracks from every other game--canonical and noncanonical--in the series. I’d say that folks will really be surprised by the choices and the styles they’ll be approached in. bonus) haha, it’s a tossup between The Final World and Scala battle, but there were lots of great originals in KH3! Another fav I don’t see a ton of people talking about is the Guardians of Light track that’s just lovely

We're over the moon that our arrangement of "Darkness of the Unknown" is featured in the Kingdom Hearts VR Experience, released for PSVR. Thank you Kingdom Hearts for this truly tremendous honor ❤️

You can pick it up now for free on the Playstation store, and relive some of your favorite moments from the series!

When is the 3rd album coming?

Definitely after we have confirmation on the actual track titles from KH3 hahaha. Album 3 tracklist has been tentatively decided (barring any new additions from ReMind we might choose to add), and we’ve begun arranging a few of the non-KH3 tracks from the tracklist^^ We’ll have more information once the album has made more progress!

Hi there! I was just wondering if you have or have thought of making sheet music available for purchase? It’s tough to find good sheet music for KH, and your arrangements are amazing!

Hey! We have--making piano accomp + instrument in C is one of the items on the list. For now, there’s Don’t Think Twice up on musicnotes
