I really liked this. Very soothing to listen to and the melody was just beautiful.

Very cool! Kept me completely engaged with all the varying textures, beautifully woven together. Totally enjoyed listening to your "music weaving" lullaby. Thanks, Tom. I suppose that song is a dream weaver. Hi, Scott. Someone already took my line, but it's still true: Very cool!Nice trip through an interesting soundscape. Well done!  Thanks for listening, David. Oh, what a great idea, Scott --a melody you sang to your son. I have those too --a;ways made up songs for them. Also, Ogden Nash (I think) said, "It is every father's duty to make up stories for his children." So, man, that was a lot of fun.
Speaking of fun. Man, this is an outstanding masterpiece for your first dive into instumental music. What an extraordinary production. Thanks, Marty. Yes, I made up stories too.

A gentle, yet suspenseful intro followed by an eclectic mix of textures that I felt sure would take me even deeper into this enchanted forest... but then it all ended rather abruptly. Maybe that is what was intended -- to make the listener hungry for more

A somewhat imposing, slightly spooky intro that resolves into a lovely melody.
Cool bit of orchestration maestro.
Cheers

Midi to the Max … Wow!
First instrumental?
Sounds like you’ve done them for a long time.
Mesmerizing in the good sense of the word.
It’s a great tune for the listener to conjure up their own imagery.
Great mix ... room filling on our Kalis.
It's hard to imagine the thought and effort that went into this.
Waaaay beyond our production pay grade!
Deserving of film/series placement in our opinion.
Excellent!

Our albums and singles are on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, YouTube Music, Pandora and more. If interested search on Janice Merritt. Thanks! Our Videos

Scott,
Beautiful.
Terrific arrangement/production.
A great mix. All instruments - yours and theirs - are so perfectly blended I don't care to "parse them out".
It's all Just Right.
To steal others enthusiasm about other products... "This is how BIAB and MIDI Controllers and the Showcase should be used!!!"
Immediately hit replay.
Gorgeous.

Cool and unique, mostly sounds like a soundtrack song from a toy shop movie where the toys wake up and start playing. And then there's more nightmarish section with singing like from ancient rituals somewhere in the north. Instruments are very well mixed and arranged together for a beautiful landscape. Just by listening I would have never guessed who's work this is, it is so polished intrumental and totally different from your usual style, but it just shows your gift in songwriting. I hope to hear more like this from Mozart of BIAB age.
