Chicory: A Musical Tale
I’m so excited to share that I’ve re-arranged a music track from the absolutely beautiful game – Chicory! The music was originally composed by the legendary Lena Raine – she’s a huge inspiration to me so it’s a bit of a full circle/dream moment to end up on this! This project is an offical collaboration between Resonant Union, Lena Raine, the Chicory dev team, and such a diverse range of creatives from around the world! Thanks Michael (MB) and Philip for inviting me onto this! You’ll also hear me playing various woodwinds and singing on tracks by other incredible composers (every arrangement is so cool)! 🎤🪈🎶
You can buy the album on Bandcamp or view it on YouTube: https://youtu.be/1c49TSDH8GY?si=Q30msw1VWthxazu7
