Today, I decided to release a compilation of orchestral tracks I did between January 2014 and May 2015 as the first in a series of albums. It consists of a single remix of a couple of core Guild Wars 2 themes, seven original character themes, and two boss battle concept pieces -- one for a boss battle that never existed, and one for a boss battle that does. Stylistically, these pieces were largely inspired by the music of Guild Wars 2 and some of my favorite JRPGS and composers.

This album represents my very first attempts at orchestral music, and documents me -- a musician with no formal training whatsoever in music composition, notation, or orchestration -- using pretty much nothing but a budget-end orchestral library and a passion for music and Guild Wars 2 to create orchestral music, and sort of catalogues my growth in that aspect during the past two years.

Please check it out if you have the time.
