about

Imagine an emperor playing the lyre in his quarters. He plays a tune he composed himself. Over the years this tune has become so popular among his people that it is sung sometimes in the street. As part of a national celebration, people are gathered on the town square below the balcony of the emperor and start singing the Empire's Anthem. That's roughly the atmosphere I was going for in this track. It also reminds me a bit of the older Age of Empire games, which I also like for it's soundtrack.

about

Hans Hylkema Zwolle, Netherlands

I make original compositions inspired by fantasy, history and folkore. Some sound more authentic, while others have a more dramatic "soundtrack" feel to them. Think of atmospheric fantasy, medieval dances and Spanish renaissance music.
