Fortnightly Update #1-2022
Welcome to the first music update of 2022
It's been a while, so I'll start with a short recap on the Ante Bellum Album release and then a little roadmap for the year going forward.
Ante Bellum OST
The album had a very successful launch! Thanks everyone for enjoying the music and sharing all of your thoughts and comments. Here's some fun statistics:
The album has been streamed 10.2k times on Spotify!
The top 3 songs are Into the Beyond, Battle of Valencia and Legacy of Seljuk.
The album has received favourable reviews from Paradox Interactive's internal teams.
The album features in almost 150 shared playlists.
The one average you have all listened to each song around 5 times!
32 people have found the hidden easter egg on Spotify
I'm really pleased with the release and I'm excited by the opportunities it presents. Just in case you missed it, don't forget to check out the new song that released today for Ante Bellum 1.7: Pendragon.
2022 Roadmap
My primary project for year is intended to be the Extended Timeline OST, for which I have huge plans and expect to release in Summer 2023(!) at the earliest. As this is so far away, I'm currently considering putting something small together to fill in the gap, using some existing unrelated material. However, this is not confirmed yet so we shall see...
Over the last year I have been gathering ideas, scraps and concepts into my ET folder and I am nearly ready to launch straight into full composing. However, due to personal circumstances I am unable to fully begin this work until sometime around July. In the meantime I will be focussing on small projects and releases like 1356.
Music updates will continue and in two weeks I will talk a little bit about Anbennar!
Enjoy!
