really good guitar work. You posted your demo in the chat and I knew it was going to turn out good. "Hidden Valley" reminds me of the forest temple from Legend of Zelda, and I really liked your arpeggiated chords in "Runic Forest"

About the track
Two of my tracks mainly use acoustic guitar and bass, which I recorded myself. Apart from that, a rompler was used for orchestral sounds and also as a basis for the synth pad in the song hidden valley. I made some use of the dorian mode and avoided using strong cadences too often to give the tracks a mysterious, restless feeling.
In general, I wanted to capture the mysterious nature of the forest, a place that is connected to a lot of folklore and gives of an ancient feel. It's a feeling I get especially when the woods around my city are foggy like in the picture.
