David Arkenstone – Daughter of the River
“Far away from the civilized world and deep inside the wild forest, lies the "Daughter of the River". Mythical production based on classical instrumentation and meditating vocal effects. This sound travelled us back in time, in an era of fantasy and magic.”

5-time GRAMMY-nominated instrumentalist & composer David Arkenstone has established himself as one of the best contemporary instrumentalists of our time. A musical storyteller and true visionary, David is passionate about taking listeners on a journey, creating sonic tapestries that evoke every emotion. He delivers ‘Daughter of the River’ as a celtic-inspired piece. Arkenstone says, its “a song for the mysterious Goldberry, and her fabled story of actually being a river-spirit of the Withywindle. The beautiful voice of Jillian Aversa, harp and flutes with simple harmonies made her musical portrait come to life.” This is part of an upcoming ‘Music Inspired By Middle Earth' album in Summer 2022. David has released more than 60 critically acclaimed studio albums and his music has been featured on Amazon's Spa and Classical channels for many years. He’s also worked on multiple video game soundtracks, including Emperor: Battle of Dune and the World of Warcraft series.
