Traveler

melanieanns As a musician--OK well a high school/college sax player--I love this album because it repeatedly feels familiar and then whisks my mind off to a whole new place. It brings me peace by showing me how much more is out there, outside of my head and outside of what I already know. Favorite track: Forgotten Strength.

Eyre I've loved Tom's music ever since I first shot down his name in the credits of 'Bionicle Heroes' on the Gameboy Advance. I was really excited for this album, and Tom did not disappoint, rather he amazed me once again. Beautiful, original, exciting - all words that fail to quite do justice to just how brilliant this album is. Favorite track: On The Way To Wherever (bonus track).

Amshee Favorite? If only because it's the -first- track I fell in love with. I just play through everything and enjoy the journey...

Not your usual chiptune faire, and believe me, I've sampled. There's just something that forms a connection in you when listening to this album. Give it a shot! Favorite track: New Determination.

John Orr I really enjoy Tom's sounds. I bought his first album a few years ago. this album is cool and sweet music. Favorite track: Traveler.

(instrumental) Traveler, From whence do you come? And where do you go? The moon has set, But the sun has not yet risen. In the chaos of darkness before the dawn Seeking the light, I advance To dispel the dark clouds from my mind To find a great tree unbowed by the tempest I emerge from the Earth.

about

For this album, I turned again to the VRC6 sound chip, as I did with Tale of the Rat King. This time, however, I tried to create as many textures as possible with it, making complex arrangements with an orchestral sound while keeping a bit of the classic game feel.

I hope you enjoy listening! It was a pleasure to create this album and I'm happy to share it with you all.

-Tom
