This track was inspired by the artwork made by game developer and artist Anton Falk.

On this one I wanted to tell a story of lost beauty and the decay of all things. I worked with a limited set of instruments and called upon Oskar Lemke to play the lead cello.

This track was inspired by the artwork made by game developer and artist Anton Falk. 

For this track I went beyond my usual instrument selection and included throat singing, shouts, grunts, bowed electric bass and various recordings of metal objects all made by me. A combination of different horns, flutes and strings accompanied by large drums is used as a basis to establish the epic fantasy sound.
