“We’ve had a lot of requests for a physical soundtrack from fans, and we thought lining up with the physical release of the game on Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4 would be the perfect time to pursue this,” comments Scarlet Moon producer Jayson Napolitano.

“We couldn’t have found a better physical product design and manufacturing partner than Materia Collective and we’re looking forward to getting this truly premium collection into the hands of fans this summer.”

WIZARD OF LEGEND (The Complete Soundtrack) includes all of the music from the fast-paced beat-’em-up roguelike composed by Dale North and includes an unused bonus track, “Smoldering Ember,” exclusive to this physical edition. Piano Collections WIZARD OF LEGEND features 11 all-new piano performances by AYAKI (Etrian Odyssey, PersonaQ, Prescription for Sleep: Game Music Lullabies), bringing his unique jazz-infused arrangements to the fast-paced action of WIZARD OF LEGEND. Also included is an original theme by AYAKI titled “Realizing One’s Potential,” which is inspired by a wizard’s journey to prove themselves in the Chaos Trials.

About Dale North
Dale North is a composer, arranger, and orchestrator for videogames, based in San Diego. As a multi-instrumentalist (piano, vocal, brass), performer, and singer-songwriter with an international training, he brings a unique voice to videogame music.

Dale’s music mixes traditional instrumentation with vintage colors, blending live pianos and orchestral tones with the synthesizers and sound sets that shaped the sounds of games from the Super Nintendo and PlayStation eras. His upbringing in Tokyo, Japan helped shape his melodic sense (and his love of synthesizers), and he continues to hold the traditions of game music in the highest regard.

Dale looks forward to working on projects that favor creativity and seek to honor game music’s rich heritage.

He also really, really likes Welsh Corgis.

Dale North is represented by Scarlet Moon Artists.
