Honestly the single most damaging decision for UKHE - worse even than removing the HEFCE grant for humanities degrees. The underlying driver for casualisation, prioritising capital project spending above wages etc etc. Terrible terrible idea.

Taking us on a journey through one of the central characters of Final Fantasy Tactics, @drbaferguson.bsky.social's moving arrangement of Delita's Theme explores the depths of Delita Heiral's complex plot line. On #Bandcamp and streaming: lnk.to/brave-sonata #finalfantasytactics #delita #piano

Dr. B.A. Ferguson's artist spotlight

What inspired you to choose your track?
Delita’s Theme is such an iconic theme, and I enjoyed working on it. Also, Led Zeppelin’s Kashmir uses the same progression, so I threw in a little quote since it works out.

What is your favorite memory of playing FF Tactics?
I loved Final Fantasy Tactics! I played for 2-3 years throughout high school, and, while my grades suffered, it had such a profound influence on both my music and game design philosophy.
