Cross Symphonic - A cinematic Chrono Cross album

[CptOvaltine]

Oh man!

More to go than I thought. Four more tracks? I would have guessed one or two. Good news for the listeners, bad for you doing the actual work, hahaha

You aren't kidding...the burnout is strong right now!  Especially with it being the summer rush with my publishing business! The next track is the Dragon Track, which is another fastish track.  So it's going to take a little while to finish.  Then I'm thinking I'm probably not going to do anything for the final battle track, instead I'll catch the song of life from the end of the battle.

As for the the two bonus tracks, those will be a surprise.

Well thanks!  I just hope I haven't over hyped it... You know, something about giving away all the good parts. yadda yadda. haha

I think we're a very small subset of your target demographic, so I think you'll be fine!

I'm sure you're right!   We'll see how well this whole thing comes off.

Part of what inspired this was the Distant Worlds albums, and the Final Symphony concert series. I love those, and I wanted to create a Chrono album/series that could rival those both in terms of arrangements and production. Of course I can't be objective about my own music, so I'll have to wait and see what feedback I get once I release this.

As popular as the Chrono series is, we are trumped by the sheer numbers of FF fans.

I do think this quality rivals that, however.

I'm glad you hear you think so!!

It's true, the FF fanbase is WAY bigger then the Chrono, although I think it's safe to say that the two bleed into each other. I also think that the Chrono OST's are pretty highly regarded in the FF fanbase, so I'm hoping we can get some support there!

Here's a clip of the Dragon track.  So far so good!

This will be the last preview from track 14.  I'm really excited to share this one with everyone!  It's a blast!

If this gets enough momentum to it, I'd love to see this on a kickstarter or something of the like, to get a full-blown orchestral set playing for an audience. Would definitely donate what I can.
