about
''Touch The Sky'' is a piece that is inspired by the Lord of the Rings films. Since day 1 of composing fantasy, I always wanted to make a piece that sounded royal, kingly and majestic, something fit for a kingdom. Using solo french horn and utilizing perfect fourths and fifths, I tried to build a soundscape that makes you imagine big glorious mountains, castles, steep cliffs. I believe our association of hearing perfect fourths and fifths with something kingly/majestic comes from the natural scale of medieval trumpets, that were used as fanfare/signal instruments back then (for example the neverlur from scandinavia).
At the end of the track, the flute goes up an octave and the whole orchestra comes together to do the theme justice.
Lovely epic and melancholy evocations of fantasy-themed winterscapes. Truly orchestral ambience; in fact, the album almost feels neoclassical to me at times. As I listen a hush falls upon the land while the snowflakes gently swirl from heaven to earth, and their icy kisses upon my cheeks turn to tears of loneliness in my heart. Yet my quest remains the same, so I turn and crunch first one foot, then the other, into the path beneath the newfallen snow. Dave Aftandilian
ASKII’s tracks are always so comforting. I love the background ambience that accompanies the album in the full audio. It makes me feel like I’m sitting in a port at dusk and watching all the businesses close up shop for the evening. If you haven’t listened to any of the Hegelburg albums you are doing yourself a disservice. Grackle
The Beyond Skyrim composers have done a fascinating job at trying to follow in Soule's footsteps while also tapping into a side of Tamriel not seen in previous entries: a world defeated that is clinging to past pride. It's most notable in perhaps the anthem of Beyond Skyrim which is Daniel Ran's "Of Storms and Half light". Alex and the others do the same kind of work here and it produces a number of wonderful listens. "Heartland" is by far my favorite, the flute in it is chill-invoking.
