An OST which perfectly illustrates the theme, close to an adventure like "FinalFantasy CristalChronicle" with Mediterranean sauce (mainly spanish, except the last track obviously), and with medieval sounds, especially in its rhythms and melodies. A success on all the musics, very expressive and immersive. The orchestral conservation allows, despite the great diversity of the tracks, to offer uniqueness throughout the OST. By listening, the listener takes a wonderful journey filled with memories of battles, exploration of amazing places and fabulous encounters. A little gem! The proposed video of the DAW in action is a considerable bonus to appreciate all the work behind it, and to discover with amazement that each instrument is indeed virtual (in particular the guitar which, in its playing and more precisely its attacks, had everything to seem recorded IRL) . We regret the short duration of some tracks, but the whole happily exceeds the expected expectation. A work of goldsmith for an imaginary game that deserves to exist for its real OST.

Thanks a lot. I appreciate your kind words, I'm glad you liked my work.
I did consider playing a real guitar (I actually play the guitar :D) , but I don't have a decent mic and some parts I wrote were too tricky to me to perform. I did however put a lot of care and attention to the guitar attacks and phrasing. I wanted to sound authentic, as is one of the core instruments of the soundtrack.
I cared some details like keeping a maximum of two guitar "players" at the same time (one for the chords, and one for the complementary melodic phrasings) and trying to make them feel like they are responding to each other to make it sound as natural as possible. I think kinda extended too much my thoughts on this reply lmao
Thanks again! ^^
