With his latest album, ‘Quest For The Runestone’, David Arkenstone pulls out all the stops. A more spectacular cinematic performance you will not experience! As a classical composer and musical visionary, he orchestrates dramatic and performative visuals that explore so many themes of human life. Exaggerating them in the context of fantasy soundscapes, the listening experience is like watching a full on movie. Taken from this collection is ‘Prophecy’, the first frame of the fantasy album. It is contemplative, enigmatic, projective, climactic, ethereal, and immersive.
Each instrumental arc and sonic detail is vested with towering emotional quotients. It has its highs and lows, moments of infinite stillness, and tsunamic barrages of consciousness. It is a soundtrack right out of movies like Lord of the Rings, Narnia, and Spartacus. Historical scenery with war cultures, kingdoms, vast natural sceneries, and ancient gods flashes in the mind’s eye. They blow past on the wings of violin melodies, punching drums, brewing synth storms, and adjacent orchestras. It is the perfect introduction to the story that forms with immense and intricate details. It draws out your imagination and compels you to forge a way through it. Confronted with morality, power, loyalty, friendship, pride, and patriotism, the listener is transported to a world far from the ones he’s from. Listeners of Hans Zimmer are sure to enjoy the work of this artist.
The track is available for streaming on popular sites like Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, and Amazon Music!
