OTF Theme: Season Two

Posted on by

OTFAlbumArtHey all! Sorry for the lack of updates. We’re currently working on OTF 12 and should be releasing in a few weeks! In the meantime, here’s the previously-unreleased “OTF Theme: Season Two” theme tune to sate your appetite!

OTF08 arrived during a period of time when we were changing and updating a lot of things around here at OTF. As such, we internally considered OTF8 the beginning of “Season Two” of the OTF Podcast. With the arrival of “Season Two” came changes in the aesthetic of the website, forums, podcast tone, podcast album art – and of course, a revamping of the theme tune.

This track is a revised version of “Over the Fence,” featuring reworked mixing and more concise arrangement. This new version incorporates a 4/4 version of the theme from “Beyond the Barrier,” giving the track an actual “theme,” and features live performances from guitarist Mackenzie Cook and keyboardist Peter McCulloch.
