It is the epic adventure he might have had, told through a mother's lullaby.My husband Craig produced an incredible worldwide YouTube orchestra of generous souls who gave their time and talent to be part of this project. At Video Games Live in Dublin during the first iDIG Music Fest, we performed the piece live with the National Youth Orchestra of Ireland and members of Maynooth Chamber Choir. There were over 130 musicians and singers onstage.My beautiful friend Malukah de los Santos is the star of the piece and her voice haunts me every time I hear it. Thank you Roma Downey for making me read The Dove Keepers and inspiring me.

I loved the concept and what I saw - which inspired a bit of music.It took him ten years, but he finished the film. RESPECT!Now hitting the festival circuit, Matthew's hard work is being enjoyed by audiences around the world and the film has earned a number of accolades, including, (I just learned) the award for Best Documentary Score at The Golden State Film Festival.http://whatisgoingtohappennext.com/category/screeningsI could not be more thrilled.

You also may have seen Eimear conducting on the 25th Anniversary 3DS orchestra videos. With Zelda being such an important presence in her musical life, Eimear always felt a deep connection to this music. But in one special moment during the event she created, The Dublin International Game Music Festival (iDIG Music Fest), the reason for that magical connection became crystal clear.Those who attended the 2015 Dublin iDIG Music Fest experienced this magic when the DIT Irish Traditional Music Ensemble took the stage - putting their uniquely Irish twist to our favorite game music themes; especially "The Legend of Zelda." At the urging of the audience, a Kickstarter was launched to record these outstanding performances.1. The Windwaker Theme2. Kaepora Gaebora3. Zelda's Lullaby4. Aryll's Theme5. Song of Storms6.

As the principle conductor for Blizzard Games (World of WarCraft) and a first call for sessions at Skywalker Ranch, her credits include the most respected productions in the genre. In addition to World of WarCraft, (for which she also composes) her credits include Heroes of The Storm, StarCraft II, Diablo III, Reaper of Souls, Hearthstone, Overwatch and many, many, more. The game music she conducts has unparalleled reach in the orchestral world. Diablo III, as one example, smashed the record in game sales by selling over 3.5 million copies in the first 24 hours alone. It also won the 2012 GDC Award for Best Audio - which includes the award for music, the 2012 Hollywood Music in Media Award for Best Original Score, and a 2013 BAFTA Nomination for Original Score.Presently, Eimear is conducting for the orchestral touring show, VIDEO GAMES LIVE, featuring all the greatest video game scores, synchronized to cinematics and gameplay.Now in it’s 15th year, VGL holds the Guinness World Record as the longest running orchestral touring show. With Video Games Live, Eimear has conducted from China to Brazil, Canada to Qatar, Mexico to Malaysia - and just about every other corner of the globe where orchestral music is performed.As a composer, Eimear composed for the iconic game World of WarCraft and the expansion, Warlords of Draenor. The score for "WoD" received the 2014 Hollywood Music in Media Award for Best Video Game Score and was nominated for 5 Annual Game Music Awards, and The 2015 ASCAP, Composer’s Choice Award.Although best known for these contemporary performances, her background is solidly in classical music. Recent concerts include her conducting works as varied as Scheherazade (Rimsky-Korsakov), The Firebird (Stravinsky), The New World Symphony (Dvorak) and more.
