My largest project to date, a massive medley with a storytelling twist; Fates Divided is, in a sense, an audio retelling of an early storyline in one of my original settings, where each song in the work—as well as the song's placement—is representative of specific characters or events.
The song is available here in both MIDI and MP3 format; the MP3 is a recording of how the MIDI sounded on my computer at the time I had finished it.
This had been in the works since 2011, with progress being particularly slow; I would do some work, then take a break from it, then come back and listen to what I had done so far, then fix some things or add some more, and repeat. I wanted this to be my biggest song ever, which was easy enough if I wanted to just be sloppy about it, I could have just thrown things together at a whim much like I had on previous medleys, but no. I wanted Fates Divided to be my biggest, but I also wanted it to be some of my best, if not the best. I took my time―a lot of time, as some people who were following my work at the time had probably noticed. I put a considerable amount of thought into my song choices and the transitions between them. I readjusted the instruments and their volume levels multiple times to rebalance everything each and every time I switched to a new soundfont. Because this song was made with a specific soundfont in mind, some parts might sound a little odd on anything else.
