about

A New World III is here!

We’re so proud to share the energy and joy in these performances of FINAL FANTASY music with you; thank you for listening! ANWIII was recorded mostly in Seattle last March, toward the end of our SPECIAL ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION Tour honoring the 35th Anniversary of FINAL FANTASY. For our community of FINAL FANTASY music lovers, those concerts DID feel like a celebration.

We’ve included three LIVE bonus tracks along with this collection of music because we want everyone listening to feel it too: intimate recordings in a room powered by hundreds of people engaged with crackling musical performances and fellowship.

We also have two superb solo tracks from two terrific musicians. Benyamin Nuss has thrilled us with his piano solos since our 2014 London premiere. And we go back nearly as far with the guitar virtuoso Sam Griffin.

It feels good to produce an album which communicates the vitality and brilliance of the music written by these great FINAL FANTASY composers over the decades. It is such a privilege to perform and record their visionary compositions.

We hope you find your listening experience rewarding; we had a very rewarding experience making it for you.
