To the Land of No Return
To the Land of No Return: A postlude that opens with a minor romanesca and reflects on the opening track.
When Shadows Take Over
When Shadows Take Over: the final “let’s explore dark, minor modal mixture” of this album.
Goblins Lurking in the Darkness
Goblins Lurking in the Darkness: the most blatant dungeon synth parody of this album.
Angels Carried Me Away
Angels Carried Me Away: choral style improvisation with the guitar = pain in the ass.
Crystalline Chaotic Caves
Crystalline Chaotic Caves: textural exploration, F.Sor etouffez, perhaps a dungeon synth parody or a game cave theme.
Windless Deserted Island
Windless Deserted Island: “a first inversion harmony, or a phrygian clausula tenorizans?”
Strong Currents in the Unknown Waters
Strong Currents in the Unknown Waters: an arpeggio interlude, this time with dark, minor modal mixture.
It's Time to Set The Sails
It’s Time to Set The Sails: I ripped of an unknown composer’s “Forest Theme” from Terra Incognita, a Net Yaroze demo game.
Goodbye Faraway Peaceful Town
Goodbye Faraway Peaceful Town: instead of a shepherd in Arcadia, I associate romanesca with town themes (damn gamer).
Revelations in Ancient Tombs
Revelations in Ancient Tombs: what happens when you apply “chroma”, Gesualdo-style, on a romanesca?
Prelude to a Foreboding
Prelude to a Foreboding: The static use of the arpeggio motive creates tension; “trailer music” vibes.
Autumn Moon Dance
Autumn Moon Dance: This dance-like motive unfolds in a so-called minor-variant romanesca.
Doppelganger Takes Over
Doppelganger Takes Over: The motif is one of my favorite fantasy tropes, albeit rare: it sounds quite dark.
Twilight in the Marshlands
Twilight in the Marshlands: This motif, I feel is rather soundtrack-like, serious and heavy.
Waltz with Me Moose Giants
Waltz with Me Moose Giants: a chameleon motive, very useful for weaving counterpoint.
Fireflies Circling in the Rain
Fireflies Circling in the Rain: The flourishing motif changes along with the underlying modes or scales.
Chilly Nights, Quiet Winds
Chilly Nights, Quiet Winds: a meandering motive searchs out and seeks, perhaps for a warmer breeze.
False Relations in an English Town
False Relations in an English Town: “Dalza’s basse danse meets the english cadence”
Wherever The Wind Takes Me
Wherever The Wind Takes Me: arpeggiation of a single motive, resulting in a deceptively simple prelude.

“..the overall sound ranges from early music pastiches to soundtrack-like music, or fantasias if you will.”
