The imagery in your poem works perfectly with the music. I love fantastical descriptions like "You could walk up to the treetops" where the laws of physics are eschewed to create a magical place. There's a song out there called "Wayfarer" by a band called Kayo Dot that has really flowery poetic lyrics. Maybe you'll like the song, but the lyrics themselves are a cool read.

Got really into just reading the poetic blurb, but as for the music itself I really like the different instrument choices on this one. The crushed 8-bit trilling sounds really cool behind the synth pads, the fretless bass sounds amazing with the fret sliding, its actually mega impressive the attention to detail on that performance.

I can imagine this being the music for a bright, colorful village from Chrono Trigger. Wonderful instrumentation and melody!

This track makes me want to go out hiking so badly. If only I were home in Ireland. Yes, this turned out more than okay thank you very much. Beautiful piece.

What is that string instrument that makes these smooth slides? Is that a fretless guitar or a fretless bass? And then a sitar at 1:28? The background arpeggios and lush strings for some reason remind me of a christmas, festive yet quiet time. What a pretty track.

I fantasize about this sometimes. It's a beautiful song, too, really feels like it's waking up from a slumber.

Thanks so much - both for the kind words and the recommendation! That song was quite a journey.

Hehe, thanks! Means a lot to hear that from a fellow Chrono Trigger fan!

Thanks! I’ve been meaning to get back out hiking too. February was a crazy month, though, so I had to make do with haikus.

Yikes - hope warmer days aren’t too far off! Just send the rain our way if you don’t need it. It gets freakishly dry during the summers here, so we could definitely use it.

Hehe, that's certainly one way to get a sideways cedar.
Your gifs are always the doggone best. I've got no bone to pick with them!

You got it! Fretless bass at first, then sitar at 1:28.
And thanks so much!

Wow that fretless bass is incredible.  I need to learn how to do these awesome chord changes.  any advice on learning music theory?  Your music makes me so emotional because the notes pull me in so many different directions.

lol never seen a tree sneeze before

It is indeed a sneezy breezy tree,
but not a sleazy tree, as we can see.

Seriously though, thanks! As for the question, I've been brainstorming for the last couple of weeks and I think I finally have a half-decent answer. I just tried DM'ing it to you as a WB email. This is the first time I've tried that, though, so let me know if it didn't come through.

This one's unbelievable, the bass + sitar + chip-arp combo is perfect. Move over legumes as my favorite track of the year! (No, wait, what are you doing? I said move over, not get down... Yes, there's a LOT of space for the #1, my #1, my rules. Cedars do you need a hand getting up there? Oh ha, you're already there! Well done!..)
