"Dreaming Of Dragons' was written and recorded by Loredana P. Kint

Loredana is a poet and medical student in Aotearoa. Her poetry has appeared in national and student publications and international poetry competitions. It can be found on Instagram, @loredana_poetry, and on her website, loredanapoetry.com She has self-published an anthology called Reflections, and is working on a children’s poetry book, which will be released this March.

The Long Night was written by Robert Von Garrett

"Robert von Garrett is an aspiring author and chronic world-builder.

He has a lifelong passion for fantasy in the broadest sense: everything from Tolkien and Star Wars to DnD and Saturday morning cartoons. He studied Religious Studies and Asian studies at university, which, along with his fascination with ancient history, psychedelics, and gritty, morally-grey TV shows, serves as a major inspiration in his writing. He has weaved a world that is rich in cultures and history. While some of his more wild imaginings have become tempered by an appreciation of realism.

Robert's current project is an epic fantasy saga which itself will be part of a much larger series spanning across multiple generations. "The Long Night" is a glimpse into the origins of the conflict that will come to shape this world, its politics, cultures, and even the nature of magic itself."

The Long Night was produced by Emerging Aotearoa featuring

Lumini Ciudate -  by Heretic

Samuel Barriball  - a.k.a Heretic is a musician from the small town of Ngatea.  Heretic has been recording and mixing his own music as a way to provide a form of escapism for himself and his listeners.  With themes that are generally centered around high fantasy and Lovecraftian horror, Heretic provides a portal to unearthly realms centered within the mind through lengthy instrumentals constructed from heavy basslines and sweeping, atmospheric guitar melodies.  You can find more of Heretic's music on spotify by searching "Heretic Free of Flesh'' or going to heretic666.bandcamp.com.
