Sounds medieval. I like it!
Everratic responds:
I used many medieval instruments. Thanks!
Perfect for walking around in the woods sort of soundtrack
Everratic responds:
That's a cool idea. thanks :)
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 :)
