Dragonflight is the 9th expansion pack for World of Warcraft, perhaps the world’s largest video game franchise at the moment. It’s always a real pleasure to work with Blizzard, because with millions of monthly subscribers (I think about 4.5 million at the moment) the in-game music production budgets are significant and nothing matters more than quality. This was my third time orchestrating for WOW, and the recording sessions for this batch of music wrapped today. I was orchestrating mostly ambient and exploratory music for composer David Arkenstone, who is also a real pleasure to work with. We’ll do at least one more big batch of recordings, and the expansion will most likely be released toward the end of November. The conductor’s scores were prepared by me and the parts by Michael Runyan at RPM Seattle.
