A concept album of experimental interpretations and original compositions inspired by The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. A collaboration between the video game soundtrack label, Data Discs, and the London-based group, Imprints.

Written and recorded between 2019-2023, this album utilises tape machines, pedal steel guitar, modular synthesisers, field recordings, piano, double bass and various DIY circuits/devices in an attempt to approach the idea of the “video game cover album” in a more organic and interpretative way. By mixing acoustic and ensemble elements with processed electronic and synthesised sounds, the intention is to reflect the feelings of desolation, space and loss often evoked by this most revered and influential game.

Imprints' previous works include Data Trails (Serein, 2014) and Inside Every Second (Experimedia, 2011).

Written and performed by Shaun Crook, Alex Delfont and Darren Clark.
Produced by Jamie Crook.
Double Bass on tracks 1 and 3 by Tom Rosenfeld.
Recorded and mixed by Imprints , 2019-2023.
Mastered by Shawn Hatfield and Shaun Crook.
Cover painting by Jenny Morse, photographed by Robin Silas Christian.

I'm a big fan of this album. Recently received the vinyl record of it and I play it repeatedly while I work (love the colour of the record btw). The links to BOTW are there in spirit, rather than melody, but I think the interpretative nature of this project is incredibly refreshing and admirable. Good work!

"the intention is to reflect the feelings of desolation, space and loss" Nailed it. Absolutely beautiful.
