Glad to hear the melodica making a return this week. Blended really well doubling the marimba like sound and melodies. I believe this is your best melodica composition I have heard. Really well done. 

And I'll have my supertonic with a wedge of lime please.

Echoing NWSPR, I think this is my favorite melodica piece of yours yet, the choice of accompanying instruments is wonderful and the compo is rich and draws you in, great work!

Stately. Beginning sounds like the (possibly bogus) reconstructions of Byzantine music. Love the smoooooth second section! And the cool ending.

Thanks. I always pull it out every three weeks, it was that time again. That's a kalimba by the way and I'm not sure if it's the best I've ever done, but it might be the first time I've played along with a soundfont instead of harmonized with it. I think I like Mysterious Melodica Man maybe a bit better.
And you can have your wedge of lime, but you're gonna have to compose it yourself. Just play a D7 instead of a Dm if you're in C.

Cheers, they all have great replay value, listening back to them. I believe the richness is the blanket of reverb that's pervasive throughout and doesn't change in any way whatsoever.

I don't honestly know what country it could be. The kalimba is African and the piano really doesn't belong in the middle ages, but the rest seem fine for most of Europe.

Ah yais, I also caught that interesting episode of "8bit music theory".  I like the transition from the melodica to the woodwinds and finally into the space age synths

Yea, it's pretty great, but not extremely comprehensive. It definitely assumes you have a bit of music theory knowledge.
Personally, I find the transitions a little weak, they just kinda happen. I was considering adding a sound effect to note the change in age, but then I didn't.

I love this, it definitely makes me think of the dawn of a civilization, and I'm seriously loving the theory again. You're making me want to dust off the old books.

Books are for nerds, kids these days learn it by watching the YouTube. I can give you a list of some good channels to watch.

Some nice sounding movements among this.  The harpsichord gives it that earlier period of music.  I used to have epic battles on Civilisation!

Another one with some very lovely 80´s minimalistic vibes. Can see this played at a concert with an electro.acoustic ensemble with modern dance coreography. Lovely...

Yea, it's quite nice. For me it's the double bass with the oboe that does it, but the harpsichord is definitely a decent addition; definitely my favorite section of the song though. I played Civilization once, but I managed to stop that.

I already got the books, though. Hahaha

Very well, good luck on your endevour.

Really love the instrumentation, especially when the piano comes in at 20%.  The rhythmic change up at 50% is really exciting and adds some nice energy.  Then cool "chip outro".  This might be my favorite you've done this year (but I need to catch up on the last month!)

I take it you know what it means then.

The tempo changes I felt were really necessary, the start is fairly slow (because recording melodica), but further in the game there's more stuff happening so the song has to reflect it.
