Thanks, Janne.

The 8diOboe is a pain to work with - it requires a lot of fiddling with note position to get the attacks to work correctly - but has a raw, rustic sound. The intro was longer than I'd have liked, but it gave me a chance to use it, so... smile

I've said before that songwriting is sometimes just an excuse to use all these lovely sounds I've collected and actually use them. And I got to use a bunch of them in this song!

Thanks for the nice words!

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?
