like a cryptic set of sonic hieroglyphics, all the sounds here got my attention to the spaces between all of them, each stepping in and out of existence so lightly i craved their weight, but their lightness was still the perfect trace of playful mixed with the gravity of this overall movement: like a glint of moonlight looming out across the mist.

The primal, tribal, raw wins here, it seems, in spite of (very well fitting) orchestral sounds. I don’t know what to say today. I’ll think of something in time, but today I’ll say that I like the music you made and particularly the second link you shared (about Hale). heart

Beautiful track that works very well with the image you shared. It is earthly, tribal, morphing and changing.

I love the minimalistic orchestration in your song. there is so much room and air and the perfect time to discover the little fragments you send to us. I enjoyed this song very much and can confirm the perfect match to your gif.

It's maddening and yet somehow not surprising that they're inspired by 17th century dudes.  I knew they wanted to drag us backwards, but jeez.  As far as the track goes, really digging the tribal feel of this one.  It's a different direction but it sounds assured and like a natural extension of your sound.

Our progress in history could move a bit quicker tbh!

The percussion combined with the flute and choir creates an ominous vibe.  The synth bass with that lil warbling synth sounds really soothing amidst the percussion.   Well done! smile

everything on point, great percussion!

It's got this tribalistic feel to it and I enjoy it.

thank you all for listening & your kind words

i think i prefer the adj. "elemental = of, relating to, or resembling a great force of nature"
instead of "tribal"

i know things are feeling dark but equally i hope there is a hope/great force and fire in our hearts that comes alive heart

Whatever it is, it feels in tune with nature.

The chewy synth bass and pads are wonderful against the traditional world-beat instruments. Fun contrast. Can't help but be caught up in the beat! Such a great blend of styles with a dash of 80s synth that I love smile

you can take the kid out of the 80's... wink

very nice arrangement, lots of breathing room but still very sensual. bass is giving me some Assault on Precinct 13 vibes. I'm into it.

Nice! I like flute sounds. and the percussion here are groovy

had never heard of Precinct 13 - wonder if any of the loops had similar settings?
