I just wanted to come back and let you know that this song has made it into my Spotify Wrapped for the second year now, and has never left my On Repeat list. From like 0:40 onward I cannot help but get drawn in, to want to sway and hum along to the feather-drifting strings and the melody. This has truthfully become one of my favorite finds ever. Thank you so much for this treasure!

That's amazing, and super kind of you to let me know! Life's been busy so I havent had a chance to work on music for the last few set releases, but nothing encourages me and inspires me to keep creating more than a comment like yours. Thank you, and I'm thrilled that it's meant so much to you!

Going from neon cyberpunk to old school noir. Nice touch.

Did not expect to search "streets of new capenna music" and come up with this... Hats off to the high strings, really capturing that angelic vibe beneath all the film noir grittiness. Super engaging track.

These incredible composers have already provided me a ton of inspiration, but I still have five more tracks to do, so I'll likely continue to draw from them (and more)!

They put out a heavy metal album for Kaldheim, but starting with Kamigawa earlier this year, it seems like they may be putting out official music regularly with main sets from now on.

@@RedWinterHero Actually, it was a bit coincidental: I've written some fan music for other films/games etc in the past, and was really excited for the Kaldheim release, so I had decided to write some original music (Thankfully, the heavy-metal music WotC put out was drastically different than what I wrote). I was similarly stoked for Strixhaven, so I did another. Forgotten realms and the two Innistrad sets didn't excite me as much, but I had been looking forward to Neon Dynasty and New Capenna since they were announced the year prior - just figured WotC began putting out regular music just as I did haha
