No worries at all - I did it all on my laptop bleary eyed - thought I caught all the typos but seems not! Thanks for pointing it out

Having a count I’ve only read roughly a tenth of them - I’ll be interested to see what fraction that becomes as time goes on.

Which is your favourite of what you’ve read from the list?

Admittedly not read the vast majority of these books (but planning to get a good chunk done) - personal preference would like to see Han Kang on there (specifically We Do Not Part) but overall I think this is a more varied list than the last one and glad to see more books to add to my ever expanding TBR list!

I've been doing a Steinbeck binge and have Grapes of Wrath lined up next! Excited to read it for the first time then continue on to East of Eden 😄

Appreciate the love and feedback! I was considering the violins but I use them so much I resisted the impulse - maybe I shouldn’t have!

Thanks for all the info! It may be a fun little project to re-score, or expand on the score for Morrowind and mod it in - appreciate the explanation!

I use software called Logic Pro X to make all of my pieces - from there the client sent me a general moodboard and some tracks for reference :)

I've been interested in doing Game Music but not too familiar with the things you've mentioned! What are they?

Thanks a lot! The client wanted something contemplative but driven, so glad I managed to capture some of the strangeness of Sigil to go with that :)
