ABOUT JOHN THEODORE
John Theodore is a composer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist working in Los Angeles. With a love and fascination of medieval and fantasy music, he has spent the last few years searching out and learning some of the more exotic instruments of the era, from the nyckelharpa to the hurdy-gurdy.
As a composer, John is best known for his work with Ghostfire Gaming. This Dungeons and Dragons based company brought him on to write the campaign song for one of their most successful Kickstarters to date, "The Seeker's Guide to Twisted Taverns". The song was a true collaboration and success, featuring lyrics by Runesmith, a vocal performance by Annapantsu, and animation by JoCat. The song helped the Kickstarter raise over $1.6 million dollars, and continues to be listened to by thousands of fans daily. With the success of the project, a companion album of loopable tracks for the 16 taverns was commissioned. "The Seeker's Guide to Twisted Taverns" album features live orchestra, and some of the world's top soloists.
