Dear friends,
My name is Julia Okrusko, I am a violinist and composer, and a huge fan of Skyrim, and I am currently running a Kickstarter campaign to release an original fantasy symphony inspired by Skyrim, combining the traditional musical language and techniques with fantasy elements, themes, and sounds. The power and missions of Dragonborn became my inspiration for this work, Symphony No.1 in D minor "Dragonborn", and I wanted to invite you to visit the project at https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/okrusko/fantasy-symphony-no1-dragonborn-album-release and become a part of it! The symphony is in 4 movements, each featuring different atmosphere and characters, that are united through motives, rhythms, and themes to create a symphonic portrait of Dragonborn and the external and internal realities of being immersed in the world of fantasy.
I am running this Kickstarter project to record, produce, and release the Dragonborn symphony - as a CD and digital download featuring live and synthetic instruments. I would be so grateful for your help spreading the word about this project and making this music possible!
Thank you very much for your support and help spreading the word about the project!
Julia

Julia Okrusko started composing fantasy music in 2011, after performing with Video Game Orchestra at Boston Symphony Hall. After 20 years of pursuing a classical music career in violin performance, she was inspired by film and video game soundtracks, and began writing her own fantasy music for violin, symphony orchestra, and choir, soundtracks and arrangements for film, games, and concerts. In 2013 Julia's original fantasy music CD "Legends: Fantasy Violin" was nominated by Hollywood Music in Media Awards in Best Classical, Best Orchestral, and Best New Age categories. Her music was featured at FantasyCon in Salt Lake City, Utah, and performed live by Claflin Hill Symphony Orchestra and New World Chorale. As a member of the New England String Quartet, Julia has recorded soundtracks for Lord of the Rings and Dungeons & Dragons online video games (Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment). Julia has performed in Russia, Estonia, Latvia, Denmark, Holland, Germany, France, Italy, Switzerland, Austria and Turkey as a soloist and member of chamber ensembles. She holds a Master of Music and Performance Diploma from Boston University College of Fine Arts studying with Dana Mazurkevich, and actively performs as the first violinist with the New England String Quartet,
