Sir Orfeo, by Chaucerian Myth

Sir Orfeo

by Chaucerian Myth

supported by

Dave Aftandilian Lovely musical retelling of the medieval Breton lai of Sir Orfeo. Listening to CM’s thoughtful and varied dungeon synth submerges you deep in the otherworld of a far-distant time and place. It also takes you on an emotional rollercoaster, from playful sunlit innocence to a harrowing descent into a shadowed faery realm from which few ever return. Favorite track: The Tale of Sir Orfeo.

Ropp Its great to see Chaucerian Myth back in its full glory. In contrast to other longer releases, this one remings me of the beautiful "Troilus and Criseyde" by the same artist. Same charasteristic Chaucerian sound, new complex and pleasant melodies full of intrincated ornaments and engaging harmonies.
The references to both ancient and medieval myths are, as always, a much welcomed added value to the music.
In short: everything good about Chaucerian Myth keeps present in this fantastic release. Favorite track: The Tale of Sir Orfeo.

Witherless Floret [Demo]
by Eulelier

My top Dungeon Synth album of 2018 so far. Brilliantly-composed Neoclassical Dungeon Synth that is thoughtful, atmospheric, and expressive. An absolute must-listen. Chaucerian Myth

Sunnhild
by Gatekeeper

Another monumental Dungeon Synth album from 2018. Very inspired by Video Game Music, and the compositions are masterful. Very easy to get lost in. For those into "magical" DS, this is for you. Chaucerian Myth

Limbus Patrum
by Illusionment

Dungeon Synth made entirely with sounds from single-note samples of phonograph cylinders, but this album is no gimmick. The compositions are incredible. For fans of epic Nintendo 64 soundtracks. Chaucerian Myth
