The druid

Liner Notes

In the forum, I asked the #DruidicOracle for a card and got the Two of Wands: "A powerful Druid stands on a cliff, a long, spear-shaped wand held in each hand. The tall mountain behind him gleams in the sunlight. The druid has decisions to make, because he has options, and his choices will shape his future. He has climbed to the highest point on this cliff to look at the lay of the land, and to seek the blessing of the sunlight, the fire that warms and blesses our land, in making that decision." So... mountains, nature... let's dig into some newage style :-) I recorded some sounds (water, the gong), clipped a mic on my alto recorder, got a rainstick sample from freesounds... the pad has its origins in a preset from S1gns of L1ife, the other instruments are Bitwig stock plugins. What do you think about the horn sound? I tried to mimic the Tibetan horns, and created the sound from scratch in the Bitwig Grid.

New age par excellence. 👍 I was half-expecting some artist sing-songing some mantra or blessing. 😁

The synth horns remind me more of the soft bass murmurings of digeridoos; the Tibetan horns seem to have a bit more of a brassy twang to them. But doesn't matter, the sound fits well in the overall piece.
