Okay so this week may be on me... I got caught in a pretty deep Windrose addiction, being a sea shanties and pirate lover, and this game being...a pirate mincraft... That got me pretty bad. I enjoy it a lot but it didn't help AT ALL except in making me go through a sleepless night killing boars and chopping wood. So I wanted to make a little pirate speedtrash in the spirit of a battle phase ! It's not good but making it during a two hours Windrose break (I'm going back on the seas right after this post...) is satisfying enough !

I recorded all the instruments by myself (even the voice chorus, but you'll DEFINITELY notice there's only one voice haha ! I need to learn the hacks to make better chorus voices !)

Also I'm so very sorry, I've been very quiet and didn't respond to a lot of comments on the 3 past weeks, I'm deeply sorry about it. I read it all, and I thank you all very much, I just didn't had the strenght and the mental to answer you all. But I will definitely do it at some point ! So sorry, and thanks again !!!

Lots of piraty love, mateys ! All hands on deck and let's sail !

Yeah, last few weeks have been hard...I haven't commented nearly as much as I wanted, either. heart

Now, then, on to the track at hand:

THIS IS AMAZING.

Fantastic sound - love how everything recorded, and your choice of arrangement. I adore this style of banjo - simple and unadorned, not as strident as bluegrass...that wailing whistle in the distance...and dammit, I'm jealous of your flute tone! wink Absolutely lovely...and inspiring. Favorited.

so great!
also...

what kind of movie does a pirate like to watch?

Yeah I feel in some kind of a permanent burnout but it's part of the challenge when you're not used to it I suppose ! Sending you a lot of strength, and thank you for each and every comment you put under my tracks ♥

Thank you so much ! I'm really happy with the banjo sound as well ! I found a way to mix it that satisfy my ears ! A bit on the rounder side but still keeping enough sharpness ! The flute tone is helped by the magic of :sparkles: Low Whistle :sparkles:. And it's magic enough that even by  not having a good technique (gosh I suck It took me an hour to make a correct recording of it hahahahaha), it still have an amazing sound :DD. Really glad you liked it !!!
