A Path Sewn By Fate

A stunning piano piece written, performed, and composed by Jilaine Wheatcroft. An incredible digital painting by Ashley Mckenzie. Video edited and animated by Alex Hunt. Imagined by (me) the author of The Ancestral Odyssey (TAO) series, D.W.Gill.

The sen-satiable Jilaine Wheatcroft has written and composed another beautiful piece called, A Path Sewn by Fate. Inspired by scenes that appear in Episode One-The Utopian Dream, published in 2016, Jilaine has been able to marry Isabelle’s character with environment beautifully, resulting in something that speaks to specific moments found in the book, organically evoking a myriad of emotions; A score deserving of high praise and notability. To complement Jilaine’s musical achievement, I worked alongside an incredibly talented digital artist, Ashley Mckenzie, who gave life and wonder to the concept of Master Eran’s Old Library that appears numerous times in the first book. After months of study, Ashley delivered a remarkably close representation of the library, including details that tell their own story and highlight aspects that show in my literature. Alex Hunt came through for me once again at the last minute, editing together my slides and giving light and energy to an otherwise still digital painting. I have written about this creative process in article 99 called, The Masters Library, which is found on my website, link below; Not only do I talk about what it was like to work with those credited, but I offer some insight to readers of the book, emphasising elements of the story that may not have been considered. I feel like fans of this series will find this essay and others like it well worth their time, so please, check them out if you would like to uncover more.

Thank you Jilaine, for writing and producing another remarkable piece of music, link to her Soundcloud is found below. Ashley and I are already discussing what concept to depict for Jilaine’s next track, which is called, The Thief’s Priestess. Thank you Ashley, for working tirelessly to paint not only a vibrant and compelling image, but something authentic to what is in the book. And thank you Alex once again for the video edit and the animation effects, your work is truly appreciated and I hope we get to work together on another film.
