Aiden Chan - "Worldbuilder (Mercer's Theme)" - [Orchestral/EDM]

He is the one above all. He is the one who deals in chance, who weaves the very fabric of their world, who decides every outcome, every...destiny. A god amongst gods, a king of the games, he is: the Worldbuilder, Matthew Mercer.
This piece is inspired by Matthew Mercer, the voice-actor, and dungeon master for #GeekandSundry's #CriticalRole! Please share the video, and perhaps it will reach them, and make it into their show!

[@thedungeonmaestro]

Thank y'all so much for the love, #Critters! ❤️ I seriously can't stop saying how amazing #CriticalRole has been for my music! 🏰⚔️🐉 But the ride is FAR from over-here's our #TalksMachina host, BRIAN WAYNE FOSTER's theme: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r4nEZZeVlpJgnLs Enjoy!

[@DeKoTree]

Aiden Chan will you put these songs on Spotify ? :o your account doesn’t have many videos as of yet :3 but alas I’m just watching critical role for first time only up to episode 8 and I can already say your music has the essence of each and every character so spectacularly it’s so amazing to go through the critical role experience for the first time with such creative genius to listen to as I go through the journey with the characters honestlyjust well done

[@OriginalPuppetMuncher]

This would be amazing music to be put over a story board like video of the full critical role campaign, just a series of transitions between pictures of major story elements, with each segment portraying the major crises within the campaign

[@WandersNowherre]

Why am I imagining the VM crew at Epic Level, transcending the veil of reality, having felled demons, titans, and gods, to face the ultimate ruler of their universe. "I have waited for you patiently, my old friends. You know me not, yet you have seen my face in every smiling innkeeper, every jeering bandit, every snarling monster, every kindly friend. You have felt my touch in every ally's hand at your side, every foe's blade upon your skin. Now at last, you are ready for my final challenge. Show me the power and the wisdom you have accrued. Fail, and it shall be as if you never were, your tales unsung, your deeds unwritten. But prove your will to live and to be, beyond this reality, and I shall open the door for you to universes infinite and adventures beyond imagination. Prepare yourselves, Vox Machina, for I am...The Dungeon Master."

[@sasparillasassafras7926]

Wanders Nowhere yes

[@NicolasPine]

No group or broken character can defeat the dungeon master. You simply can't kill something that has no stats.

[@bradenwolf2179]

What type of encounter would it be? "Show me the power and the wisdom you have accrued". Would they fight him? Would he create things for them to deal with?

[@beardeddragon4650]

As a dm I hope I could write a final boss speech as awesome as that one

[@Kris-wo4pj]

@@bradenwolf2179 it's dnd. It can be whatever ya want it to be. Just prove your skill. Like how the old gods had heros prove their worth to get to their heavens.

[@gpenguin840]

It starts out simple like how the campaign was then gets more epic as Matt develops more complex characters and you can kind of hear the moment he begins to craft the dragons and the epic battles that come. Then the softer bits as he describes the worlds and lands of the campaign.

[@thedungeonmaestro]

Thanks so much for that wonderful visual! You make this composer really happy! :D

[@phillios3257]

This song took my DnD DM writer's block and smashed it across a broken, craggy shoreline. lifted me up, and sent me back on track. I, and my unwitting players, thank you! Very inspiring!

[@beardeddragon4650]

Same, I've been listening to this on repeat while planning my sessions

[@CargoJ]

Smashed, perhaps, like a goldfish?

[@kathleencoulter5091]

Okay. Okay. Now we need a Critical Role orchestra, or musical, or animated show, or live action movie. In fact, I need them all. And this will the main theme because, damn, this made he hyped.

[@thedungeonmaestro]

After all of these are done...I might score them and send them into the ether-hopefully we can start a #CriticalSymphony to play at a Con some time :)

[@anqied]

Aiden Chan I don't know if you've ever heard of the Sherlock or Doctor Who Fan Orchestras, but if we could do something like that it would be awesome. They had members record themselves playing the theme songs and edited them all together to make a symphony. I would be totally willing to join in something like that.

[@thedungeonmaestro]

Yeah I'm gonna score these after all the themes are done/I've reached critical mass on my music to sustain myself (so I can devote the time to scoring the parts) #CriticalSymphony

[@anonyanonymous1900]

I don't hear a viola in this really, but if there's one in the other songs, I could play it. Just found this one, haven't listened to them all yet.

[@thedungeonmaestro]

Anony Anonymous there's viola in all of them :) this piece in particular is just so stylized (for the EDM elements) such that the viola's blended with all the other parts :)

[@fawkespryde9183]

I can feel it. The camera panning over a vast expanse as creation works his magic. I feel like a bird soaring over as trees grow, roads spill out like ink on an canvas. As I'm taken up with the wind thermals, structures form from stone and wood, great looming towers and expansive walls. You did this, your music took me back to that world, reminded me of every journey and tale. I can hear their voices and the sound of dice rolling. You made me want to sit on the edge of my seat and gasp, truly ache in wonder as I can practically hear him say. "How do you want to do this."

[@ivanorcan]

I just read this while listening to this amazing piece of art and when i reached the "How do you want to do this"... wow, just wow!

[@sh11death]

Aye, friend. Couldn't've said it better myself.

[@bobsutherland2937]

Perfect complement to the Music! Well done to both of you!

[@clarehelwig7989]

Actually, imagine it starts in the world he created during a battle with all of the characters from either campaign one or two, whichever you like. They show various fighting like in the intro but they are fighting a hooded figure like in the second of the intros for machina, zooming in on its face when one of the characters takes a critical hit, zooming into his face, then zooming out to mercer sitting at the table head and saying "how do you want to do this?" Then everyone celebrating

[@idopaz1659]

He is the one above all. He is the one who deals in chance, who weaves the very fabric of "their world, who decides every outcome, every...destiny. A god amongst gods, a king of the games, he is: the Worldbuilder, Matthew Mercer." so epic

[@thedungeonmaestro]

Haha thanks! I honestly have D&D to blame for any trace of copy-writing skills I may possess ;D

[@idopaz1659]

i know this arc has already ended, but can you please do a specific music for Raishan? she deserves it

[@caramellbrixon9686]

She's also Matt's favorite villain. :D

[@thedungeonmaestro]

I might be doing themes for NPCs/Villains after I'm done with all the VM themes...but til' then :D Meanwhile you can sate your thirst for the Conclave with my "Here There be Dragons" track (also one of my CR pieces) :D

[@idopaz1659]

DJ KO I think you misunderstood. it's about him as a DM, not Matt Mercer Vs other people. And as a DM he is *one* and he is above all.

[@colbynelson2760]

You did it. You created a song that shows the creation of beings, of land, & a history of said world. Not to mention showing said creator interacting with beings foreign to this world. Expanding the land, forging enhanced battles, all in a single song. You did it, you've wrote a song for Mathew Mercer.

[@thedungeonmaestro]

Thanks so much for the kind words! I really do try with my #CriticalRole music! (hell ALL my music haha)

[@banymomo]

You should have heard the embarrassingly loud gasping sound I made when I saw this on my sub feed

[@thedungeonmaestro]

I'm sure it was GLORIOUS! Like Gilmore xD Thanks so much for the wonderful words! :)

[@alexduke94]

I'm really hoping Grog's is half calm and then goes into some heavy metal when he rages.

[@CrimsonHellkite666]

Grog's theme song would be something like this. kzbin.info/www/bejne/l2Stp2CabZV7Z8k

[@madmanwithaplan1826]

alexduke94 but it never came :( neither for scanlan whi is the most badass character of all

[@RavarSeer]

Alexduke94 The light that blinds?

[@christophermoore2132]

i hope the man himself hears this! its amazing.

[@thedungeonmaestro]

Christopher Moore thank you so much! ☺️ I hope so too 😬 @matthewmercer #CriticalRole

[@christophermoore2132]

if you tweet the critical role cast the link then theres a chance maybe?

[@thedungeonmaestro]

Christopher Moore I've tweeted him...but I'd hate to spam the others 😬 maybe Marisha/Liam would be okay with it?

[@christophermoore2132]

Aiden Chan good point. though I dare say the others would love their character themes that youve made. I love Vax's btw!

[@arkandy776]

Yo, post the tweet and we'll re-tweet it

[@charlierae42069]

I listen to this before every game I DM. It really instills me with confidence and power over the world I build and the game I run. 10/10 would recommend

[@JessWasMistaken]

I really like the introduction of EDM to this one to underline the difference between Matt's role and the characters within his world. Your electronic style blended really well with the fantasy theme! I also noticed some little nods to the other themes in here :) Always delighted to see your CR music in my sub box, please do keep them coming!

[@thedungeonmaestro]

Thanks so much for the wonderful words! Haha yeah I was taking a risk with the EDM but I'm so glad it's worked out :D

[@hunterkillerslayer1264]

I have to say, this is by far my favorite of this series so far. I'm sitting here and imagining a band conducted by Mercer, and a circle of 8 main musicians up in the back, raised up, all dressed as the characters, each playing a different instrument. Percival on violin, Vax'ildan and Vex'aliah on percussion, Keyleth on keyboard, Grog on the bass drums and cymbals, Pike and Tiberius on horns, and Scanlan on flute. Excuse me if my terminology is off, I'm not much of a musician myself. Anyway, I love your work, and I can't wait to hear more! You have earned yourself a subscriber!

[@MissCandiDandi]

Words can't explain how much I still adore this song, it brings me to tears. There's so much love and wonder in every sound, it tells such a journey, of a man who just enjoys telling stories with his friends. I see this cosplaying little boy who has no idea he's going to become the world's greatest dungeon master atop a kingdom of fans and people who adore him. Matthew Mercer is a treasure and I hope that his life has every fortune come his way ❤️

[@MissCandiDandi]

I have listened to this so many times already. stunning. it makes me really want Matthew Mercer to be the final boss in the Vox Machina campaign. with this as the background music 😍😍

[@thedungeonmaestro]

Hahahaha seeing as how meta they can get sometimes, I definitely can see that happening in some alternate timeline 😆 Thanks for liking my music!

[@maximumdm9612]

Critters unite do not let this man stop his work. Let’s keep watching and commenting so he knows we want more. Don’t stop and keep up the awesome work.

[@aejylhis4s]

This was an amazing journey, almost as awesome as Matt Mercer; the man, the myth, the legend, himself taking me on it. I like how you included EDM into this because it sets the DM aside from the Players, because he is after all, a being from our world instead of theirs. So in short, the DM's theme has a more modern-esque musicality. It's a very good stylistic choice.

[@MegaVidFan1]

I can't even accurately put ito words the excitement I felt when I saw this notification! (Also, heh. eDM. Cuz he's the DM)

[@thedungeonmaestro]

PWAHAHA I see what you did there xD Thanks for the kind words! So glad you enjoyed it!

[@totinho63]

At the end I could see two forces battling like order and caos fighting to create the world. Amazing work, congratulations Aidan!!!

[@thedungeonmaestro]

Thanks for the lovely visual! :) #CriticalRole

[@phoebemore1418]

This is so amazing! The contrast of this and the other ones! The meta electronic vibes for this song compared to the more fantasy-centric songs for everyone else! the song in general! It's just so cool! You have incredible talent my friend, how I haven't heard of your work more I have no idea

[@thedungeonmaestro]

Thank you so much for the wonderful words! :) Haha I just figured since Matthew's in Overwatch, Heroes of the Storm, Final Fantasy...I'd pay homage to those aspects of his "personality(?)"/career :D

[@phoebemore1418]

You definitely did all of them justice, wonderful work here! Thank you for sharing it!

[@shunonnorth3602]

It also works really well also implying the fact that the dungeon master is essentially "In another world" than the characters

[@anthonyallen6205]

Listening to this song I can just imagine an avatar of Matt creating everything from scratch, building Emon from the ground up, smiling down on his work, then not even batting an eyelash as the events of Omens transpire. Gives me chills everytime I listen to it, great work!

[@monkeystar3652]

This song perfectly encapsulates the feeling of a diety creating. It's beautiful...

[@minemax2002]

i really want the show to end with a final reveal and battle against mercer himself, that woulød be truely epic

[@yourshadow05]

Worldbuilder. What a perfect name for Mercer's theme. Well done lad, good music and naming sense!

[@Kalibby22]

i hope mercer has seen this because holy shit

[@thedungeonmaestro]

Haha thanks! I think Liam's seen it...so fingers crossed the man himself's seen it too 😬 #CriticalRole

[@1Kapuchu100]

Oooh damn. The DM!

[@thedungeonmaestro]

He's the One Above All ;) Hope you liked it :D

[@1Kapuchu100]

I did, and you're welcome :P

[@thedungeonmaestro]

Kapuchu haha I believe thanks are in order *bows* ☺️

[@1Kapuchu100]

Nah. No need to thank me for liking your music :D

[@NotCthulhu]

Not sure why the new C3 intro reminded me of this and made me need to listen again, but it did. Guess they're both just epic, if not really similar sounding.

[@rileylarkin1254]

2:40 Did it break into Chroma Conclave there a little? Cool!

[@nicholaselliott339]

Riley Larkin Hey guys I found Larkin!

[@checkmate1860]

while I hear this song i close my eyes and in front of me entire universes are shaped in blink of an eye. I cal almost feel the mountains and the seas that are put in place by the creative mind of a DM. And then entire cities, races, nations and even individuals each one with his own story. Everything is set up, the world, the stories and the charachters. And when the song slowly finishes I open my eyes... The campaign can begin as a Dm myself I always use this song when I write script and worlds Great job is the only thing that can be said... the rest is written in all the stories and legends created by all the players influenced by Critical role and by these songs

[@ynakoliai5146]

You touched my heart with that comment. : )

[@veng3r663]

Yeah I really should get back TO working on my new world as well...

[@maximumdm9612]

Dang so should I

[@Illidangernika]

It fits so well that you can actualy hear him wispering things in your ear like "its a very hard person to read" or "you can certainly try"

[@onecrazypig8423]

One with no true name, one of the omnipotent, one of the creators of Exandria, one who's eyes have seen infinite possibilities. The god of fate, chance, past, and future. He rules over gods, yet observes the movements of an ant. He is bound by no rules but follows them anyway. Matthew Mercer.

[@Reverse2057]

I've got to say though, listening to this while I'm making an art piece, you've encapsulated our DM perfectly with this song, it's simply amazing. The imagery alone that this spawns in the mind, how every chord and instrument, pacing and rise and fall somehow manage to describe Mercer and the worlds he creates is hard to put into words. If there ever is a song in the world to describe a person without needing words, it would be this one. I sincerely hope you hold pride in this particular piece of work. From one artist to another, you've brought to life something I could only dream of doing on paper with ink with music that speaks a deeper scale than paint alone can convey. Instruments truly are the voice of a soul, and the pulse of our minds. My strongest commendations to your craft and your accomplishment. This is by far my favorite song in all my 32 years (and counting). Mikandii's art pairs perfectly with this song as well, it's simply gorgeous, and one I aspire to achieve in quality with my own art. Your love for Critical Role resonates and I sincerely hope you continue making awesome songs for and about all their travels.

[@bontin]

this shit is glorious, the intro is how I imagine matt wakes up

[@Arrow1bowmen]

Me listening: Dude......duuuuuude *friend walks in and grabs my headphones* "Duuuuuude"

[@thedungeonmaestro]

Me seeing your reply: duuuuuuuude xD Thanks a bunch mate! :D

[@RedBlitzen]

To be higher than the gods, but lower than the ants. To be the most powerful of all, but the least able to use that power for themselves. To be the creator of worlds, but the shaper of none. To feel the greatest enjoyment, but only in the joy of others. To be the Dungeon Master, Game Master, Narrator, or whatever name you prefer, is all this and more. At lest, such seems to be the case for the best of them all.

[@KHStar38]

Amazing! Really felt the ethereal touch to the music. The ending was my favorite!

[@thedungeonmaestro]

Thanks so much! Haha the ending was my most shaky part...didn't know if y'all'd receive the sudden change in mood well xD I guess you did :D

[@turambad]

I don't know if it's the hype for the new campaign, but i woke up this morning with this song stuck in my head and i've been looping it all day long. Awesome piece, my friend, may the bless of the grand poobah be on you.

[@clarehelwig7989]

To this video as an animated intro. Imagine it starts in the world he created during a battle with all of the characters from either campaign one or two, whichever you like. They show various fighting like in the intro but they are fighting a hooded figure like in the second of the intros for machina, zooming in on its face when one of the characters takes a critical hit, zooming into his face, then zooming out to mercer sitting at the table head and saying "how do you want to do this?" Then as it zooms all the way out we see everyone freaking out and celebrating. Amazing music!

[@ScarBrosBlackSmokeScarBrosBlac]

Thanks to this majestic man, I have developed myself as a Dungeon Master quickly and easy, I learnt a lot just listening and watching him. None of my players know who is he and that actually makes me feel like I am, him. So, I dunno if it's pride that talks, whenever I am the DM of a session I am a lesser or an equal Dungeon Master with Matthew Mercer... The Worldbuilder

[@jurassicbread4279]

I was the same way, except my players just found out about him, which I see as a good thing

[@theMarrasChannel]

As a DM, I can't not love this this thing is spectacular

[@TheDarksaphira]

I am listening to this song to calm my nerves before our sessions. As a super new DM it helps me a lot!

[@Sakura07715]

They told us legends of a being that was behind everything in our world. A being that chose what details were in the world from the tallest of towers and strongest of monsters to a small blade of grass untouched by anything or a speck of dust left unseen. Alas we have angered this being, now no gods can help us, our greatest allies have turned into enemies, and even creatures we have never seen nor heard of charge towards us for one final fight, all we can ask is for this being to have mercy on us and hope that we can surpass its trials lest we be turned to ash and forgotten. Roll Initiative

[@TheDistractingGamer]

My dude, please for the love of Ioun finish this series, i'm practically bouncing in excitement for Scanlan's theme

[@CosmicCappybappy]

listening to this again after the end of episode 102...matt is such an amazing storyteller. thank you for this beautiful composition!

[@CosmicCappybappy]

episode 102 of campaign 2!

[@joec665]

SPOILER I literally felt the goosebumps when Vilya's name was revealed. As a DM, I have always wanted one of my campaigns to last long enough or blend with another to the point where I could cultivate such a seed. I am so excited for tonight (Thursday!) to where the story goes next!

[@dantevalehuntik28]

I've never heard a more inspirational piece of music. Just reblogged it on tumblr with the mental image you conjured in my head and I can no longer word properly this is the best piece of music ever

[@thedungeonmaestro]

Thank you so so much! #lessthanthree #CriticalRole

[@saracandel4899]

I cannot stop listening to your Vox Machina themes

[@alexsource2364]

This could easily be the theme to an endgame boss fight. You against god. Also the picture fits this notion incredibly well.

[@rhodridavies9426]

Somebody tweet this at Mat Mercer, he needs to hear this! :-D

[@sabinrawr]

I love how this is both dissonant and harmonic. Both aggressive and tentative. Peaceful and chaotic. It really captures what it's like to be in the DM's mind in the most beautiful way. Thank you!

[@negljbreakergaming]

wow I was expecting a theme for all the party members but never the DM! that's amazing

[@thedungeonmaestro]

Haha the Lord Patron-Deity of Game Masters requires artistic offerings 😆 Hope you liked it :)

[@negljbreakergaming]

loved it!

[@HEZAA19]

I love the journey you take us through with each track! As many people have said, you really captured the essence of each character! And I love how you included a variant of your Vox Machina theme in each of the character's themes. The theme for our illustrious DM is, of course, as epic as it should be.

[@HEZAA19]

Also, did I mention how epic I feel at work now after listening to these???? Lol XD

[@MusicEmmalistensto]

This has quite the fantasia effect on me I can almost see Taldore being built from the ground up listening to this. Absolutely stunning work!

[@peacepenguine]

This is still epic, many months later! one thing i sometimes wish, is that around 3:29 and onwards, the drums could be louder. for me it would give it that extra kick of epic and godly, y'know? still adore this composition and i listen to it everyday, much love

[@garrittanderson4179]

Aiden, you've outdone yourself on this one. I always get excited when I see an upload by you, thank you for doing what you do.

[@thedungeonmaestro]

No thank YOU for receiving me :) I do try to compete with myself with every new project :D

[@zhe_smart_panda2436]

ngl, I wasn't the biggest fan of this song, but the more I listened to it, the more I fell in love with it. You truly are a mastermind!!

[@whitemoonwolf13]

Hoping at some point this song makes it over to Spotify so I can just set it on repeat for hours

[@gamecrusade4783]

For the longest time the theme for Vox Machina was my favourite but this tops it. Congrats, love your work.

[@thedungeonmaestro]

YISSSSSS!!!! Thanks so much! I'm so glad you feel that way! I always try to best myself and so far Percy's winning haha

[@darklps5906]

every little 'ting' in the backround of the music is a new place made, a new story untold, lore created, creation of people landmarks cities towns empires mountains and so on. I LOVE IT

[@hope_13]

Discovering CR has been one of the greatest experiences in my past few years. They have provided me with around 300 hours of amazing story, with such a wonderful atmosphere at the table. Long live CR crew, long live their sense of humour and their storytelling expertise!

[@thewizardofdisaster8232]

This has been and still is the Dungeon Master's rallying cry. Writers block rears its ugly head and then you pop this on and it's all gone. Use this song every time I gotta sit in the "big chair".

[@robertwalker5794]

There you are! I was a little concerned about how long you were taking but I should know by now that you can't rush perfection. Well, great song and can't wait for the next one.

[@thedungeonmaestro]

Haha between school, health, and LOTS of composers block...(and getting better gear) I'm back :D Thanks for sticking around! :D

[@karenpowers4205]

You never cease to impress Aiden. Good job

[@thedungeonmaestro]

Thanks again! :) Stay tuned for Grog's theme next! #CriticalRole

[@Hagosha]

NEW THEME HYPE!!!! AYYY!!

[@RobMilligan22]

Dude, I just discovered this while doing some writing. Good freaking work. This is awesome. I'm super impressed.

[@DJVevyVevs]

This is actually fantastic on so many levels

[@thedungeonmaestro]

Thanks so much! #lessthanthree

[@lyonderurido1889]

Came here for my daily listen of this awe-inspiring track, it truly symbolises what it means to be a DM and the fact that it was meant to represent Matthew and his world only makes it so much better. I cannot praise this enough 😇. No wonder it’s called worldbuilder as worlds rise under the inspiration of this track. Amazing work!

[@boundlessmojo1]

i just love the Jace mind mercer artwork to crisp

[@gambit4021]

This was in my recommended, instant sub. You are awesome, lets hope he sees this awesome music.

[@thedungeonmaestro]

Yannik thanks so much for clicking it! And thanks for enjoying it! 😁 Yes he's seen it and tweeted it!

[@tyrannosaurusbecs2571]

I think this has very quickly become my favourite out of all of them. Amazing as always

[@thedungeonmaestro]

Thank you so much! As long as I've done better than Percy's theme...I'm happy xD

[@lenore-bw6qz]

I got chills within the first five seconds, and of course the rest of the song is spectacular as well! Im going to listen to the rest of your songs now!!

[@fluxshaman8251]

I spent an hour at 10:00 PM in my bed feverishly writing lore for my campaign with this music filling my ears on a loop. It honestly filled me with so much inspiration that I just had to keep going, I couldn't let go of the thread that it held out to me, and I had to follow it until the very end. Most satisfying writing session I've ever had.

[@melonmode4128]

Gives me big Stellaris vibes, love it. Not sure if Matt has seen it but I'm sure he'd love it too

[@monican88]

Worldbuilder indeed. Amazing work, Aiden!!!!

[@thedungeonmaestro]

Thanks so much! Glad you stuck around :D

[@LionHeartV2]

Sick arrangement. Sick artwork. SICK EVERYTHING ZOMG GROG THEME WHER

[@grobanlover292]

I cant not think of this playing during the fight against Vechna. This is such a perfect piece for the capitulating combat he creates.

[@squidmaster6752]

This song makes me feel small, and it makes me feel godly, like a newborn deity looking upon primordial soup and saying "I can fix this". It shakes my resolve, but gives me something to aspire to, like being able to shape a story and shape the world, both real and fictional. It discourages me, but makes me feel brave, like a hero or legend, or a level one fighter touching a dice for the first time. In short, it represent a world builder perfectly. Well done.

[@realdooms3832]

Great work! An amazing song as always!

[@thedungeonmaestro]

RealDoom S thank you so much! ☺️

[@lustykong7591]

Ayyy this sounds like Metroid Prime. Thank you for invoking my nostalgia.

[@thedungeonmaestro]

Haha I'm so glad I brought you those feels xD Thanks for enjoying! :D

[@twitchgiggles]

my dude, all of your songs have become my official critical role sound track. if ever there was a score for critical role, your songs would be it. this new track is amazing like the others. I found myself tearing up because the music painted such a vivid picture. I feel the same with all the other songs. you can paint stories with your music, you have immense talent!

[@thedungeonmaestro]

Thank you so much for the wonderful words! I'm so glad you like my work so-you've no idea how much it warms my heart ☺️

[@TheKPCoyote]

Aiden, you sir are an inspiration. Thank you!

[@thedungeonmaestro]

My inspiration is only derived from you amazing people! Thanks for the kind words! Glad to see you again :)

[@TimOvideos]

Listening to this while working on the campaign I'm running for my family is just perfection.

[@alecchristiaen4856]

wait, this is actually self-made music? NIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICE! this is going to my instrumental music map for personal usage (with credit to the skilled individual who made this, of course).

[@PilotFlo]

Thanks, man! That was epic.

[@peterbaker9874]

I've only found you recently, friend, but I'm positively blown away. I'm consistently shown that the Critical Role fandom is one of the most creative and talented fandoms out there, and YOU, sir are among the most amazing.

[@daltonlewis3898]

Literal tears. Amazing.

[@tigerbtk1986]

Wow, just amazing! Gave me the chills, i like really like the organ pipes i hear through out the song!

[@knowitall82]

I have only just discovered your work today, and I am an instant fan! You capture the essence of each character perfectly with each piece. Keep up the amazing work. I look forward to hearing more!

[@RBIllustration]

Glad this was in my suggestions. What an amazing piece of music, it really captures the feeling of a world coming to life!

[@DePieks]

Yesss. I had been waiting for this. Amazing job, as always :)

[@thedungeonmaestro]

Glad you stuck around! Thanks so much!

I decided to relisten to this after I heard the announcement of the new books, we have came so far on this journey with the world of D&D and now we are taking it a step further all thanks to Matt...

I'd say this is my favourite of all of your themes, closely followed by Percy's theme

[@thedungeonmaestro]

As long as I beat Percy's theme! 😆 Thanks for sticking around!

I love at 1:53 where the sorta distorted low brass-y stuff comes in!

Micky Reynolds haha thanks! That's my propriety EDM bass synth I've kept stashed away to debut in this piece! :D

I've listened to a couple of your songs now and I gotta say I'm absolutely in love with your music! 😍 it's so beautiful and epic and Ugh!

Have a comment, as this is bloody good. I love both the art work of these and the musical build up. "When the DM smiles. . . it's already too late."

I listened to this once and was like oh, okay! Funky rhythm. Nice! And here I am on my 30th loop crying over the music and instruments and the BASS and the imagery and visualization there's SO MUCH i LOVE it oh god this is amazing, thanks for sharing!
