Elves in Iceland

Sort of a cheating entry to the wildcard challenge - a flowy, stringy instrumental.

I tried for most of the month to write a song based on this post, found by clicking the randomizer. It kept not sounding right, so finally I stripped out the lyrics, and this is what's left.

The fistdrum is back! I really like how it goes quieter and then has the banjo come in at around the one minute mark. Lovely ditty.

Yes. This is a really appealing instrumental.

I'm awaiting the day ORthey is approached about making the music for some quirky indie documentary film about tree climbing that hits it big. I especially liked the first part to this song. Thanks.

Pretty, calming, warm. Might be interesting to try accel. and cresc. the ending, but not at all necessary - good just as it is.

No words were necessary. This music speaks for itself. I am your new fan.
