This is really nice. You are very talented! I get a sense of Enya mixed with the soundtrack to beautiful mind from this song,
Hi! I’m here waving at you this weekend because we’re hoping to continue to move Newgrounds away from ads. If you have $3 per month or $25 per year to spare, please consider becoming a Supporter today!
The title, 'Tsukikanade' (月奏), is Japanese for 'Chanting the Moon.' The title originally belonged to a song by Akiko Shikata, but this time I wanted to evoke a different atmosphere while singing about the moon. Or as some characters in Sauveterrané lore would have it, singing *to* the moon. I worked the tune to this on a piece of paper in front of @IrishChieftain several months ago, and close to submission, had him listen to the work in progress, from the music down to the singing.
I wrote an accompanying piece of back story for the song -- about princesses who came down to play and dance and chase each other in the woods. Best read with the music playing:

Hope you enjoy the song.

Eh, thanks ^_^ I did try to be Enya-ish, but I didn't think of layering that many voices in the end. Glad you like it.
Wonderful
I like this tipes of music
Everything about this song is near perfect but there is one thing, I feel like this song is very empty due to the lack of drums. Even if it was just a kick drum every so often.
Thanks -- perchance a bodhrán beat might add to the atmosphere. I'm trying to visualise it in my head, and I'll admit that it's growing on me a little bit.
nice job! i dont really have any negative criticism, i love it n__n i love the synth sounds, keeps a happy mood on the tune, great job dude.
i also make music n__n;

I put this on and listened as I replied to emails and such and actually forgot this was a loop. It flows so nicely!! I'm looking forward to actually testing out johnfn's mixing tips myself.
It's a shame that you lost everything but at least you put a lot of stuff on Newgrounds that you can download, even if the quality is not lossless.
I love this, good job!
Please contact me if you would like to use this in a project. We can discuss the details.
