Whoa, this is super ethereal and haunting. Awesome job to both of you, your collab tracks have been really cool to hear this year!
Sounds magical. This doorway clearly leads somewhere special if not a little mysterious. Great collab.
Woah super haunting! Visions of being lost in the woods with the chorus and percussion. I don't think I've heard your voice in this tone before. Either way love the mood of this and love these awesome collabs! 
Happy Week 26!
can't believe it's already been a month since the last collab track and that we're halfway through the challenge! much more effective and haunting than me attempting to be haunting this week. eerie and a bit unsettling but great as always. master class number 26
Forest

Waiting
For the beginning
For the end
Not anxious
But accepting
Oh I'm all about this with all the sampled voices
The layers just keep building
I love the spooky folk horror aspect of it all.
Could be the outtro music to an indie horror
Dreamy and a little unsettling in all the best ways, and gotta the drone, wonderful
This one hits deep, it sounds really different, yet it's still you.
The choirs are so much like a 90s synth (in a good way), had to re-read the description to make sure.
Reading the lyrics, I'd assume it would be childlike and innocent, the contrast is nice though!
What a beautiful counterpart to Emily's track. Like the cool summer night mirror image of her sunny daytime song. There's a similar floatiness to her vocals coming from the choir pads in your track, but the bouncy guitar is replaced with watery pulsing guitars/synths. Loving the streched out space of ambient pads.
Beautiful work from both of you!
Woah, the intro before the lyrics come in are AMAZING. I’m not a lyrics guy, so the potential behind this being an ambient track immediately stood out to me. I’d argue the vocal line takes away from everything else going on because the backgrounds are SO COOL!! Your singing / the singing does not fit the timbre of the rest of the track for me.
All this to say, can you send me an instrumental version 🥺 and no shade meant here. It was your creative vision. I absolutely love that you guys do collabs like this. I hope I can find a partner or friend who will make music with me consistently!!
What i wouldn't give for the 2 hours version of this. Your lyrics, and your delivery, feels almost "prophetic". And against the music it very much feels like a doorway, a glimpse, a promise, a hint of something larger or grander beyond it. Like standing on the precipice but not being able to truly grasp what lays beneath your feet. The confusing intersection of hope and despair.
I've had a long day so i'm not sure i'm making sense anymore, but fair to say i really enjoyed this! 
This is so atmospheric, ohmygod. When those vocals came in, I got chills. Yeah, like others have said, I could happily listen to a much longer version of this.
I never know what to expect from your monthly collabs, its always a great surprise, but I really wasn't expecting this ambient/folk mashup, works so well with the ghostly choir like vocals in the background, the sparse percussion and your great vocals on top. Reminds me of Natural Snow Buildings.
Full of myth. Agree with others about how fantastic the choir is, and shift from all high voices to the lower-voiced mix sounds more present to me, as if we've shifted from the purely numinous to an earthly ritual. And I get a sense of displaced time, both from how floaty the choir is and how the bars switch freely between 4 and 3. The muted guitar plucks are lovely, as is the stately drum beat in three. Love the processing at 1:08. And your lead vocals are solemn but assuring: whether there is a final end or if the waters merely run in a new direction, it will be together
Haunting atmospheres, I'm floating, enveloped in the mystique. Another cool collab, always great to hear them!
Oh this is so different, love that opening chorus. Mystical. Gothy. Misty. Haunting.

thank you for getting lost in the woods with us, Wizard. hard to believe we are entering the 3rd quarter!

i was so inspired by the tracks emily sent me. that choral part combined with her vocal really lead the way.

ha, i appreciate your honesty. i wasn't sure how i felt at first, but i can relate. there have been songs/ bands that were ruined for me when the singer came in 
and are you just saying you'd like an instrumental version just to listen to? i should be able to render one. i guess just lmk (and also lmk if you want emily's higher oooh vocals in too, or just the synths and instruments).
i hope you find a good consistent collaborator, Evan.

thanks so much, Jason. very glad you enjoyed it. not sure i've heard NSB? but the artwork for one album looks familiar so maybe someone has mentioned them before. is there a particular song or release you recommend?
so soulful and mysterious. Love it.
thank you kindly, Minnamari
