This isn’t really news, but the music I wrote for Navigating History: Egypt is available for mp3 download! Go to the Navigating History site to learn more about the project! I’ve also written a few posts in the past about the creation of this music, and the instruments I used to do so (Part 1) (Part 2).
“The Navigating History: Egypt soundtrack, composed by Benjamin Botkin (Return of the Daughters, The Mysterious Islands, Ace Wonder), captures the wonder and mystery of ancient and modern Egypt. With authentic Middle Eastern instruments and voices, this haunting score transports you to the land of mummies, Pharaohs, jackal-headed gods, pyramids, and God’s mighty wonders.
Over half an hour of music in sixteen tracks. Each track is a 320kbps stereo MP3 file.”

This is some of my favorite music ever!!!! I am, like, your biggest fan!!! Do you think we could someday meet? I would love to meet such a great composer like you. Until then, do you think you could send me a link to this music so I can listen to it every night? And could you autograph it?
You are too awesome.
I think we could arrange something.
