Details:
"Arthur", composed between 1989 and 1990, marked the start of Alex Otterlei''s career. Although initially the music was released on cassette (!), the album was received so enthusiastically both by press and audience that a record-deal and a CD-release soon ensued.
Many people throughout the world have been enthralled by "Arthur", and the album became an instant-classic in the worldwide RPG-community who found the music very fitting during their fantasy-based game sessions.
Composer''s notes on "Arthur":
“From when I was a child, I had always been deeply moved by the legend of Arthur. In fact, anything about knights fascinated me, and the keen observer would find me wandering in the bushes outside our house, wearing full (plastic) armor, trying to spot my imaginary Dragon through correctional glasses. Guess I wasn’t missed in the football team…
At the end of the eighties, my circle of friends mainly consisted out of people who saw themselves as Knights of the Round Table. Some of them took this so seriously they even came to our weekly gatherings in full (real) armor…”
“Yes, those were the days. After a while however, I detached myself again, feeling the need to do something more constructive than just sit and talk all night about Arthur. And so I set myself a huge task: translate this saga into music. Make your own Arthur.
And although upon looking back now after all these years, I can''t help but noticing the limitations of my musical and technical skills at that early stage, I am still struck by the genuine passion, the raw pôwer and yes, even the magic that composing" Arthur" evoked in me."
