Description
Orchestral hybrid.

Theme

Songs of a Forgotten World
Picture theme

How does it fit the theme?
Strange Birds: the player is lured down a forest trail by some particularly odd looking birds. While the birds might have seemed uncanny, they were nothing compared to what the player discovers next. Strange Mead: the player is offered a drink by their new companions. Motivations seem unclear, but the player accepts and is led into a world more bizarre than they could have imagined...

Strange Birds: The use of flute and violin flourishes to represent birds is creative. I love when musical elements are used to evoke a sense of sound design and environmental imagery. I really love the melody that was introduced at the end and I wished that it appeared more!

Strange Mead: This is my favorite of your two tracks. The modal melodies evoke a sense of wonder and it is really cool how you modulate between different harmonic palettes. The warm pizzicato basses are a one of many highlights of this piece for me as well! These are two well-crafted and intriguing tracks. Great work on them and thank you for sharing your music!

Loving the idea of the player being accosted by just some weird birds! I really enjoy how the tension builds up in "Strange Birds", and "Strange Mead" is super pretty.
