The End of an Era – and a New Beginning

Hey everyone,

I wanted to take a moment to share a big update — a kind of turning point for my Patreon.

As of today, my tiers have been heavily edited and simplified. Here’s what things look like moving forward:

$5 Tier – People’s Hero
Access to all my tracks in single form and my exclusive Foundry VTT module.

$10 Tier – World’s Hero
Includes everything above, plus access to full albums, stems, and WAV files.

$20 Tier – Hero of the Multiverse
All previous rewards, plus voting power to help shape my next projects within the Adoan world and discounts on commissions.

But here’s the big change:

👉 All commission-related tiers have been removed.
That includes the newly launched Storytellers tier, which has now fulfilled its 6-month testing period.

Working with storytellers has been one of the most inspiring parts of this journey. Most of the tracks created haven’t been published yet, and several albums are already in the works, based on the incredible worlds these collaborators brought to life. I’m immensely grateful to those who joined me on that ride.

Why this change?

It comes down to sustainability and creative evolution. My country has faced a 300% increase in prices since January 2024, and I simply can’t continue producing at the old rates without compromising quality—or burning out. I miscalculated the energy required to maintain these tiers, especially given how much more ambitious I’ve become with every passing project.

Sure, I could write music the cheap way —fast, minimal, lean. But I don’t want to. I want to record with real players. I want to build long-format musical stories. I want depth, and to explore new horizons. And that kind of work takes huge time and effort.

Some of that passion will have to go into projects that can support a proper budget.
But I also want to bring that same ambition here—to Patreon.

Moving forward, the music I release here will come from:

Commissions (whenever licensing allows for it)
My personal world setting: Adoan

Adoan is something I’ve been dreaming about for years, and I’m finally ready to go back to it and start shaping it musically. Think long-form narratives, recurring themes, interconnected albums—a full musical universe. I can’t make any promises regarding the amount of tracks I’ll be able to release each month. But I can promise increased quality and depth.

That’s what I love most: worldbuilding through music.
And that’s what I want to keep doing—with your support.

Thank you for being part of this evolution. Whether you’ve been here for years or just arrived, you’re part of something that keeps growing, deepening, and transforming.

Happy adventuring,

Ivan
