Lovely track as usual Jeanette, I am amazed at how many
different styles you are proficient at!

I usually prefer music without words, but in this one I
appreciated the lyrics, well done!

Discovering the Guitar LV2 plugins - and the fact that they basically work with Nama/Ecasound - was fantastic. Dehumming the Clav was a task unto itself, but in the end it worked well enough.

The Clav played all the rhythm parts and one lead line. It was heavily multitracked.

> Can we face the horizon, (the horizon)
