Unofficial Soundtrack Completed!

Ever since the inception of my character, Avatar, and the trials he would endure, I have had a running soundtrack in my mind...if ever the book (if it should make it that far!) became a movie. Ten years ago I began with an opening sequence and track in my head. As the years progressed, the story evolved, and my musical tastes expanded, the soundtrack has grown and grown. Now, more than a year after Of Avatars and Elementals has been completed, I have finally put the finishing touches on what I consider to be the first draft of the novel's soundtrack.

For those of you who care to give a listen I will say this: the soundtrack is not meant to be listened to along with the reading. Individual pace of reading would make this very difficult. Instead, it is meant to be listened to after having enjoyed the novel, or perhaps for a second read through. Bear in mind, also, that these tracks are more for a general ambience, a guideline of sound. If ever the book is made into a movie, I'm sure other music will be used. It is only my vain desire that the tracks sound somewhat like this. =) For those of you who are interested, some of the scenes (the fight scenes, in particular) have been extensively choreographed in my head to fit their respective tracks minute by minute. I have a list of each track's timing notations and it is available upon request. You can find links to the music below. Enjoy!
