Andy recently let me know about a video they were able to reconstruct of one the incredible performances at Union Chapel in 2015 - check it out!

It was an honor to work alongside hundreds of world-class musicians from around the world to bring this music to life and I believe we have created something truly unique and special.

It was great to work together again with some performers who also recorded for the base game - the FILMharmonic Orchestra, Prague, Andy Brick, Amir Vahab on tar, daf, and tonbek, and John Rugolo and Nathan Egloff on rope snares.

Yes, she recorded all of the Vietnamese instruments and I composed the arrangements for Vietnam in Civ 6. Great to hear you like them!

Fast forward five years, and thankfully this time we could work together in person!

Our previous collaboration for Civ VI was just at the start of the shutdowns in 2020, which forced me to cancel a flight to record in person. We figured out a plan that had me shipping her recording gear to record and listen remotely.

The musicians and recording crew.

It was an honor to work with an amazing group of Bulgarian musicians for this arrangement: vocalists Trayana Stankova and Kathryn Mitchell, Valeri Georgiev - kaval, Kalin Kirilov - tambura, Bryndyn Weiner - tupan, Angel Dobrev - gadulka, Petar Aleksiev - gaida.

We see various harps, flutes, long neck lutes, clapping, dancing and what seems to be a feeling of energy and excitement. Here's the theme:

When I knew we'd be recording in Dvorak Hall again (the same hall where we recorded BE), I had to try writing something for the organ there!
