Oracle by Sorastro

“Oracle” is a collection of instrumental, fantasy-themed music which was written over a four-year period, and features in the painting videos of the Sorastro’s Painting YouTube channel.

The pieces reflect a life of exploration in the many realms of fantasy through my enjoyment of books, films, video, board and miniature games, and stylistically have been influenced by many composers that have gone before, ranging from the European composers of the Medieval period through to Wagner, as well as various film and video game composers too numerous to mention.

Every piece was written with some kind of extra-musical scene or narrative in mind; frozen landscapes, haunted villages, sunlit glades, as well as scenes of heroism, despair, beauty and wonder, and whilst I hope the pieces stand on their own musical merits I include the following notes to provide a little further background information on each track that I hope some of you find illuminating as you journey through “Oracle”.
