[Aaron Nihal King @aaronnihalking]

Over the last couple of years, a passion project has been writing some music inspired by the books of
@paolini , my all-time favourite books.

I've now put them all in one place, below - including a 'Murtagh' suite which hasn't been shared to X before!

Thrilled to report that this delightful documentary which I worked on in late 2021 has won the Postgraduate Factual award from the Royal Television Society!
