I am beyond excited to finally share it with you after working on it for nearly two years.

In this album of Octopath Traveler II harp covers, I’ll take you on a musical journey through the fantasy land of Solistia: a place full of lush forests, sunny prairies, scorching deserts, and frigid landscapes.

All 12 tracks (plus one exclusive bonus track not available on streaming platforms) are arranged by me, and based on the dynamic original score by Yasunori Nishiki.

I love this music, and I think you’ll be able to hear that in the album.

And once you hear it, I hope you’ll love it too.


Digital and Physical CD Preorders are now open!

I’ve included lots of fun preorder bonuses - check them out here.

Only 100 CDs are being printed, so if you want one, get one now!

Thanks for your support, and I can’t WAIT for you to hear this album!
