Hail to all. Wanted to introduce myself to the board - my DA/DS project is finally off the ground and is cause for me to celebrate a bit.

About the project:
First and foremost - my music is devoted to the lore of the "Ultima" game series (more info here if you care: wiki.ultimacodex.com/wiki/Main_Page).
I was not first introduced to fantasy ethos via Tolkien or D&D rather but by the "Ultima" series - rich in lore, magics and very impressionable on young minds. I hold the series in the highest regard from VI to UW1&2 and all the way back to Akalabeth. You owe it to yourself to play these games if you have not before.
I wanted to do the bits and pieces of forgotten history justice via song. There are already so many incredible songs from these games that are in the vein of DS. With OotM, I am trying to paint a bleaker, more cinematic canvas with my first EP - "The Tapestries of Sosaria" (which is a work in progress and will be released with more information on that to come).
I have other future releases in mind that won't be so...ambient? But first things first.
OotM will also be performing at the most excellent Northeast Dungeon Siege on the final day! Thanks to user Naginah for the invite to NDS and the knowledge that this board exists.
About me:
I've been an electronic musician for longer than I care to admit. I spent a good portion of my life recording/mixing/engineering local metal bands in my area, long enough to know that is not where my passion is. I love sound design - I hope my passion for this shows in the music.
Looking forward to meeting you all and sharing stories and feedback on the many wonderful projects captured within.
