This is a set of character themes that I wrote for the players in a Pathfinder 2e campaign that we started in November of 2020, in a group that has been playing together since 2014. The players all put so much love into their characters, and the characters all have such unique and compelling personalities -- I had to try to capture it in music! This campaign has they players exploring a nation known as Radiosa, where seven regions, each full of adventure and delicious local food, have come together under one crown in the aftermath of a war against an ancient black dragon sorceress.
Make sure to click "info" next to each song! I wrote notes explaining what I was going for when I composed each one.

Album-wide notes:
The campaign is strongly influenced by classic JRPGs, and so the music from those (especially Final Fantasy) is a strong influence on the music here.
This was my first time composing, and I learned a ton in the process. Each theme took me ~10-15 hours of work over the course of a year, and in addition I spent countless hours learning composition and orchestration techniques.
Please consider these songs to be fan art of the characters created by my wonderful players -- if their characters were not so fun, unique, and full of life, this project never could have happened.
