Visager I've been listening to this album of pure bangers nonstop. Jasmine's use of odd meter and rhythm in general is just so aspirational, a truly gorgeous album Favorite track: Festival of Sons.

sonorode A display of vast versatility and masterful command of an impressive arsenal of timbres - on top of impressive compositional skills. Lovely album, every track tells a story! Favorite track: Battle with an Altaica.

about

Journey to the Sun is a fake anime soundtrack made on a timeline. It's inspired by Kevin Penkin's first anime album (Norn9) which was written in a month (www.kpenkmusic.com/credits)

I decided to challenge myself by attempting to write half the amount of music in half the time:
(www.perennialsounds.com/edible/2019/10/2/edible-arrangements-journey-to-the-sun).

I also live streamed the process and uploaded it to Youtube: (youtube.com/playlist?list=PLO93ANjFaS6ruzYrsLVk5x9DhIHG5G_9e)

The goal was to experience trying to write in a "high-pressure" setting. I decided to do this with a story I had concepted a long-time ago. If you'd like to know more about the story, check out each track individually!

Composing was done in the set timeframe, but mixing and mastering was done after the challenge by the amazing James C. Hoffman (jameschoffman.com), with which this couldn't have been possible without.

I learned a lot from this experience (especially about pacing, what I'm capable of and the importance of adequate planning).

This soundtrack also encapsulates my eagerness, happiness and drive to dive deeply into creating a music composition career upon my transition to Vietnam.

I hope you enjoy it!
