Hey everyone,

The song that I present to you is an experiment on harmonies.
I tried to create a some sort of tribal/religious feel in the song.
For those we read my lyric 'Demeter' will certainly recognize the chorus :).
I made this song as a sort of interlude for that song and I tried to keep it als minimalistic as possible.
I tried to put the focus on the vocals rather than the instrumentation.

I'm curious what you all think about this. Any feedback is welcome. It's how we grow :).



Born from earth.
Born from silence.

Mother
do you cry?
Are you're tears
the rain on our skin?
Do you wonder
when we'll see
all the wonders you perform?

Born from earth.
Born from silence.

I really like the hypnotic dimension of your piece  :) 
I think you managed to reach this religious or tribal dimension you're talking about. The voice is really very inhabited, very disturbing as I like it.  8)
The string accompaniment in the background is very subtle and beautiful.
It's a minimalism that works very well because it's also very deep in my opinion.

Great job!

Cracking job Niels, not an easy thing to do, like painting, music should be pushed and new boundaries set,  i love the way you a re bold and confident in your approach . Good idea, and with ideas where would we be?

Nice work

Hey cowparsleyman,

Thank you for taking the time to listen and for your kind words :).

I love to experiment and look where it goes. Sometimes it can totally fail but that’s just part of being human :). I’m glad my voice doesn’t sound off key or awful.

And your right without ideas we would be nowhere.

Hey Niels! I read the lyrics you put out in the lyrics section of the forum and it was very well written, so I was intrigued to hear this part of the lyrics. Even though its an experiment, it sounds very complete, and you really did a good job on those harmonies :) So a good job indeed! :)

Sounds like gospel.
Just a little bit scared by the mood, something interesting, need to be finished.
