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.

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.
