Appearing on two tracks on Brave Sonata, @chromaticapparatus.bsky.social's evocative cello playing evokes emotional highs in both the Opening and Berceuse d'Ovelia.

Our first artist spotlight from Brave Sonata is @vronmediamusic.bsky.social whose arrangement of the opening theme, featuring @chromaticapparatus.bsky.social and Felix Arifin, is anything but bland.

Using both the harp and a cello quartet to create incredible emotional depth, @chromaticapparatus.bsky.social talks about how his arrangement of At the Bottom of Night evokes Chrono Trigger's characters and their connections to the story.

This track has an Armenian duduk AND it’s from Xenoblade?? No wonder it’s a contender for my favorite piece of VGM ever!
