about

Aaron knew he wanted to produce a CD to celebrate the orchestral music of Aveyond; thus the project “From Another Shore” was born. Aaron selected several of the most classical and relaxing tracks from Aveyond and other projects to create a final product that would not only highlight the sounds of Aveyond, but also be a very listenable CD to anyone not familiar with that “video game soundtrack” sound and also introduce others to Aaron’s work outside of Aveyond. The CD title is a metaphor for being an artist… sometimes you feel as though you are foreign and misunderstood and perhaps a bit lost… thus, From Another Shore.

Now a little bit about the tracks. The title track was written based on a daydream Aaron had about living in a beach house with bay windows facing the sea. He could see and hear the waves and there was a piano facing this scene. The track was licensed for Silver Creek Entertainment’s “Hardwood Hearts” as solely a MIDI arrangement. Also included is an original vocal ballad written by Aaron and performed by Eva Maass, the flutist for the series. And a vocal cover of a song from the RPG series, Suikoden.

Aveyond fans will notice that the track titles do not match the places in the game where they are used. This is because Aaron gives every piece a track title regardless of how it is being used, although the title often is closely related to where it is being used. Aaron strongly believes that all game music should stand up alone without the context of the game – in other words, be a piece of art all by itself. Only then can the music truly compliment the story and art of a game.

Enjoy this retro offering from Walz Music & Sound's catalog!
