free jazz 021 // “… nah just solo over the vamp”

Haunting cover of "Where Did You Sleep Last Night" by @stevepardo.bsky.social on the upcoming IRE! youtube.com/watch?v=iOzD...

Listening to the Fangs of Asterkarn soundtrack by @stevepardo.bsky.social while I work on some quests. The first time Grim Dawn had music recorded with a live orchestra!

To celebrate Farthest Frontier’s 1.0 release, we’re kicking off Music Mondays! For the next several weeks, we’ll spotlight a new track from the soundtrack, beginning with the breathtaking Farthest Frontier Main Theme by Steve Pardo! @stevepardo.bsky.social

<3 grats @crateentertainment.bsky.social !!

just remembered that i had a dream last night where i owned a splash cymbal. it was tucked away in the basement, forgotten. i could see this version of me. prob wasn’t even a dream and just a vision of an alternate reality.
