It's a particular thrill to collaborate with studios on their debut title. It's also a distinct and humbling privilege, to try and make sure the music is worthy of all they are risking in this new venture. Partnering with Yellow Brick Games has been a career highlight, as rarely have I met a studio so deeply ambitious, creative, but also joyous. They are truly wonderful group of people, dedicated to making Eternal Strands something special.

My number one goal in the score was to do justice to their vision. The score is a sort of "deconstruction" of many of the high fantasy tropes, trying to find fresh ways of express the grandeur of their story and world. I hope you enjoy it!
