Thanks so much for listening! Most of the piano and a variety of other parts were recorded live via midi keyboard, then tweaked. On Village, I used a tin whistle patch from Vienna Synchron, accordion by Le Parisien, and a mandolin patch from Omnisphere. And you’re right, that volume spike in Cliff Dwellings is rough, only happened on the final export and I guess I missed it 😔. So glad you liked the album :)
