ooo cool song! 0:11 gave me chills o.O
great expression work on the lead instruments as usual, and really cool how the vocal vsts sound like they're saying actual words. good luck!

It's nice to see you on ng again! Thanks for the nice comments :)
I emphasized the chord change at :11 with a soft gong hit.
Incredible! Inspiring work, I really love the collection of instruments used in this.

Thanks for the nice comment!
The intro, interlude and outro (aka, the harp) of this reminds me of Sanctuary by Step, and I've always loved the atmosphere of that piece.
I think the mix in this piece is really pleasant, and warm. I really enjoy the choice of instruments; I feel like I've never heard you work with many of these before. You know I love compositions with some richness to them, and you've certainly accomplished that here. You've also managed to capture a somewhat Nordic feeling (perhaps your trip helped with that!), which feels very close to home for me. All of these reasons are why I chose to favourite this track!
If there's one thing that I would critique a bit is that there's something with the vocals that doesn't work perfectly for me, although I find exactly what that is quite hard to pinpoint. I don't know if it's just something with the samples, or maybe it's because of the aforementioned "Nordic" style, whereas the vocals are of a slightly different style (although I don't think it is that; I tend to like blending styles and experimenting). Maybe they sound a bit too rough to me in some way?
Either way, don't worry about it; it's a really small thing, and would immediately be remedied had you used a dedicated singer.
Fantastic work!
Everratic responds:
Thanks for the review! Maybe Jordi can provide vocals next time :)
Perfect for walking around in the woods sort of soundtrack
Everratic responds:
That's a cool idea. thanks :)
Sounds medieval. I like it!
Everratic responds:
I used many medieval instruments. Thanks!
