Artist notes
This is a submission for "Broken Telephone Jam #6" wherein participants are invited to work on a song given an artwork prompt. The artwork is "Whimsy Dancer of the Mystic Undergrowth" by Amanda Fernandes. The art depicts a dancing fantasy gnome with a wild beard and has warm, earthy colors. I felt that a cheerful tune played by a small ensemble would best represent the whimsical character and to rep the earthy colors I stuck with reed instruments.

DAW: FL Studio

VSTs: EastWest Hollywood Orchestral Woodwinds

Plugins: Waves Magma Tubes Stereo, Waves Magma Channel Strip, Fruity Balance, Limiter, and Compressor

I love this combination of woodwinds! Not only do woodwinds feel nice forest-like, but it is also nice and upbeat which fits the dancing, silly nature of the gnomes. It is a nice composition and feels quite "full" for only three instruments. It feels quite "classical", and I like it. I see you also really use those 'dynamics' well, which is something I've gotten a bit scared of and should really try more often. Great inspiration to give it a try again! Nice entry :D

What a lovely jaunty piece! I really liked the interplay between the instruments and the weaving of the different ideas. It sounded to me that things were panned quite hard to either side, without much sitting in the middle, and those East West winds can do with a bit of EQ taming sometimes, especially when they are on their own.

This actually sounds like i at the theatre watching a play or ballad. a medium sized theatre where the gnome character is frolicing through the woods filled with joy and adventure with a little dissonance to clearly communicate obstacles in the path of the gnome character. Also reminded me of home alone for whatever reason. 

Great work.

This is a really good submission. Loved the variations, and the instruments blend together well. Gave me Pokemon/Nintendo woods vibes. (Small nitpick: a few sounds seemed a bit sharp/loud.)
