"From the Deep (Fjord's Theme)" - Critical Role OST - Aiden Chan [Cinematic/Orchestral]

[@SoulnomTheDM]

Ah, Captian Tusktooth now has a theme to match his fury on the high seas.

[@thedungeonmaestro]

That was the idea 🤘😁

[@theriseundaunted1690]

*dances the dance of joyous dance*

[@thedungeonmaestro]

@Katrine O. haha think of this like Fjord's level 10 theme 🤘

[@Korica]

I absolutely ADORE how the Mighty Nien theme plays underneath this at 2:48

[@ianriccillo3806]

Yeah I was thinking about it and it sounds different because the theme is in 4/4 time and fjord’s is in 3/4

[@joppedegraaf7505]

03:30 Just imagine the Mighty Nein on a boat with Fjord in the center crashing through the waves of a stormy sea, and in the distance the silhouette of an enormous serpent visible in the hazy rain.

[@Keanu034]

You turned out more right than you thought!!!

[@Warlock4569]

I feel like pirates of the Caribbean more specifically Davy Jones theme might have been slight inspirations for this but I love that and really love this, really love all your work and I hope the cast of CR could here this.

[@thedungeonmaestro]

Right on the money buddy! That and trying to marry it with the Witcher sound :D

[@Reverse2057]

Yesssss this is gorgeous. And that gasp for breath after the 'drowning' moment was perfect! Super stellar as always from you. Can't wait to see more!

[@thedungeonmaestro]

I'm so glad you liked it! Yeah that was a really fun moment to produce!

[@trasancombs7396]

YES!!! I LOVE THIS! THE CALL BACK TO THE MIGHTY NEIN THEME IS MASTERFUL

[@thedungeonmaestro]

Thank you! Yeah I enjoy making those callbacks - hell I even got a little carried away and put a little Vox Machina in there 😁

[@milesmanuse1569]

Our favorite Warlock Cowboy Pirate Paladin!

[@johnkirsch5479]

Love it! The difference between the very 'heavy' beginning transforming into the very exuberant latter half is wonderful. Also, for some reason the beginning reminds me of the themes of the Kaiju from Pacific Rim.

[@thedungeonmaestro]

Thanks so much! Yeah the 2 halves are meant to reflect pre and post level 10. Definitely watched a lot of #Godzilla and #Pirates of the Caribbean for inspo :D

[@tonesofbones2498]

Hearing the Mighty Nein's theme during the second part was so amazing

[@thedungeonmaestro]

I'm so glad you liked it!

[@OctopusOwl]

Seriously getting strong Pirate's feels! Love this!

[@thedungeonmaestro]

Thank you! Hell yeah that was a strong influence 😁

[@ajaxdonqueso9597]

Dude. This literally could not have been any better. I hear the PotC inspirations (one of my favorite series of scores). 100% on the money for Fjord's character. Hopefully this makes it to Travis and the folks at CR. They need to hire you for their music.

[@DaiKam84]

Amazing score!! I feel this captures not only his background but his evolution. I see him fighting during the last part of the score

[@BlackholeSonata]

That sound of breaching the water with a gasp continues to send a chill down my spine. Incredible work.

[@thedungeonmaestro]

I'm particularly proud of that #sounddesign moment 😆 I'm so glad you like it!

[@hillelmerkin8498]

Aiden is back!!

[@Arcyo]

This has final boss music written all over it. Great job, Aiden!

[@thedungeonmaestro]

Haha thanks! Glad you liked it :D Yeah I definitely got some final "Warthog" run vibes from every Halo game as I wrote this

[@brockkelly4841]

Another outstanding piece. My ear holes are grateful. Do you think we (fans) are going to get a Mollymauk tribute song from you? I understand artistic inspiration can be finicky some times and it’s like we’re not meant to create certain things, so no pressure.

[@thedungeonmaestro]

Thank you so much! I may or may not be writing a waltz for Molly :)

[@miafountain2138]

This is brilliant!!! Is it safe to assume we're getting themes for each of the m9 now?

[@thedungeonmaestro]

Thank you!! Yes they're a lot of work so hang in there! #NPC's and other worldbuilding elements are getting themes too!

[@Voidhusband]

YAYYYY!! Welcome back my dude!!! This track was awesome as usual!!!!

[@thedungeonmaestro]

It's very good to be back 🤘😎 I'm really happy you like it!

[@robertshaw1793]

Glad to hear your music again man. Well done.

[@thedungeonmaestro]

Thanks for sticking around!

[@Illidangernika]

Yeaaaah the return!!! Such epic way to come back!!!

[@thedungeonmaestro]

Thank you! I'm so glad you stuck around :D

[@Illidangernika]

@@thedungeonmaestro of course, i have your themes on while I write, for dnd or else. I know you probably hear this a lot but i love the ones you did for VM and I hope you make some for the mighty nein or you do the one for grog. Anyway keep it up, loving it!

[@natalien9951]

Loved this song so much!!! Such a beautiful composition. I especially loved the hints of the Mighty Nein theme woven in, too! Wonderful job! 💕

[@thedungeonmaestro]

I'm really glad you like this! Thank you so much

[@Nobrev]

once the mighty nein all hit level 20, how cool would it be if they finished releasing uk'otoa and then helped fjord slay it in melora's name

[@V8Vortec]

So glad to have more of your work to enjoy!

[@thedungeonmaestro]

It's my distinct pleasure to be doing this work again! Thank you for the continued support!

[@renaejade]

Waited for this. So worth the wait!

[@thedungeonmaestro]

I'm so glad you stuck around! Thank you!

[@TheNowerianRaven]

So good.

[@thedungeonmaestro]

Thank you so much! Don't forget to share it with your friends and family (and the cast 😜)

[@ethanpeterson5640]

The 1 dislike was Uk'otoa, obviously.

[@rarazalproductions519]

Now there's three. Looks like Avantika and Sabien also found this video...

[@MunchaosenbySlaw]

I love it!!! You did such an amazing job! 😍

[@thedungeonmaestro]

Thank you so much! I'm so glad you like it! Don't forget to let the cast know on twitter! 😀

[@SwordDoveGamingProductions]

We will soon return to adventures of Tusktooth i bet after the meetings are done and they make way to Traveler Con

[@thedungeonmaestro]

One can only hope!

[@satsuhatake]

Soooooo gooood aaaaaaaah

[@deKahedron]

Love the Nein leitmotif!

[@kellen9306]

Another absolute banger. Thanks!

[@thedungeonmaestro]

Thanks mate! This one was tre fun to compose!

[@TheWhibsZone]

Very excited for your new music!

[@thedungeonmaestro]

Me too! I'm finding some new techniques and styles that are more nuanced and in my wheelhouse :D

[@jeanbon2392]

Suits Fjord really well, powerful, low and noble.

[@vigilantsycamore8750]

U'kotoa...

[@LordBunnyBone]

Awesome Work!

[@thedungeonmaestro]

Thank you! I'm so happy you like it!

[@Gh-us8ym]

Holy hell this is amazing! Fucking chills and ngl a little happy tear at 1:53 oml I love this

[@cwengel22]

I can't wait for Caleb's theme! That's gonna be lit!

[@cwengel22]

Sorry, couldn't help myself

[@kobecarbajal9733]

Ok, that was epic!

[@thedungeonmaestro]

Thank you

[@nattojelly8349]

I can’t wait for Caleb and notts theme

[@DrakeCaliburn]

Eldritch Blast

[@SilverFlames_]

So epic, absolutely incredible!! Definitely going to be listening to this on repeat for a while! If you don't mind me asking, do you use a specific program for the instruments? The music is so expressive, it would astound me if this wasn't a full, live orchestra, but I also assume you don't just have a full orchestra in your back pocket.

[@thedungeonmaestro]

Thanks so much! Super glad you liked it! 😁 Maybe I do have an orchestra in my back pocket 😜 Nahh just Logic Pro X (and a whole lotta sound design on my part) 🤘😃

[@SilverFlames_]

@@thedungeonmaestro Ok, thanks for answering!! That's very impressive

[@ImmortalLemon]

This is like Davey Jones meets the Witcher!
