about

An album that documents my feelings towards the time that I spent hovering around the cities in World of Warcraft, particularly from the original title through to the Wrath of the Lich King expansion.

Ten original tracks inspired by whatever activities I used to get up to in the cities of the Eastern Kingdoms, Kalimdor and Northrend. Whether it was sitting down answering questions from the quiz bot and having AoE dancing battles in the auction house, taking the flight path down into the depths of the city or launching a raid on the opposing faction's capital, I have nothing but nostalgia for those days of old.

Primarily focusing on my progressive and atmospheric style, I hope to encapsulate what each area on the map where these cities resided truly meant to me. Whether that is heavily modified sounds or pure FM synthesis, I hope to have produced something that meshes well yet ebbs and flows between upbeat heavy/dance tunes to slower and mysterious atmospheric tunes. A small nod to gameshow theme tunes thrown in to boot.

In the order of the track list, the cities represented are as follows:
1. Stormwind City
2. Ironforge
3. Darnassus
4. The Exodar
5. Orgrimmar
6. Thunder Bluff
7. Undercity
8. Silvermoon
9. Shattrath
10. Dalaran

My original ideas were noted back in 2015 but I finally put the hard graft in over these past five months to get these released. I do hope that you enjoy this foray into what I remember from playing back in the day!
