Myths Of The Raging Seas This is the first real musical collaboration I've had. Both music and lyrics were written by me and Miira. I took care of the arrangement with BIAB and Miira sang. Intention was to make some kind of a celtic song. Hopefully it has at least some celtic feel  This was really fun experience and I think the outcome is quite nice for the first attempt. Drums: Action Strikes, RD Bodhran Celtic Reel Realtracks:Acoustic Bass Bowed #2482, Celtic #1162 Cello #1856 Acoustic guitar #1814 Fiddle #1787, #2549 String quartet #2334 Acoustic piano #2503 Harp #2773 MIDI: Strings from STR_QT44.sty (IO) MST #2058 (IO) melody - bagpipe (GPO4) Vocals: Miira, Shevannai VST Mixed in Adobe Audition 2017 Lyrics:Misty was the morning when she heard the call of the legend her mother told two brothers, seven ships sailing to new worlds brave and bold dreaming of wealth fights alongside the king through the beast attack a ghost came back. No heroes returning, no treasures, no souvenirs only the echoes of yearning only losses and their fears. Deirdre was a dainty girl with white hair all princes wanted to marry her but she wanted to fight to be a soldier like her brothers were with her sword to defy the myths of the raging seas in a ruthless breeze. [Chorus] Mother could never hold her tears as Deirdre left for the oceans she knew it would cause the evil to rise but she could not restrain her emotions she tried to hide her sorrow and gave her daughter advice for there wouldn't be tomorrow if ghost of the sea hears her cries "Keep your silence, don't show fear to the beast for nothing will come back that's been swallowed by the seas" The kingdom sleeps in misery silence descended back on the troubled shores a mother in grief losing her dear ones in those wars she curses the gods, the monsters of seas she sets the sail to join the tale. __ Janne

Incredibly atmospheric. Excellent use of different elements to create a ethereal song.
Clever innovative and nice unexpected changes as the piece develops.

Hi Janne,
I agree with Peter. This is very atmospheric. 'Haunting' was the first word that appeared in my mind just after the introduction started.
Miira's singing is a perfect fit for the mood and the story. She has done a great job.
The arrangement is incredibly inventive. You've really given it your all. Very impressive.
This is definitely a work that you and Miira can feel proud of. You've got my applause!
Regards,
Noel

Wow what a beautiful song. Real tracks and midi were just awesome. Super backtrack and the vocal was excellent. Super delivery. Lyrics were excellent as well...

Hauntingly beautiful.
I think Miira's vocals could come up front a bit more.
Regardless, it is a very unique and great composition. You must be very proud of this achievement.

Thanks Videotrack for appreciating our work I actually spent quite a long time with the vocals to find the right level at each section, but I agree that the vocals could be more front in some places. Janne

This is really good. Your instrumentation is perfect for this haunting beautiful song. Mira does an outstanding job and her singing really sets the mood. If I could change one thing it would be to lower the violin and piano parts while Mira is singing the verses. IMHO they distract from Mira's excellent singing, however I am still giving you two thumbs up on this excellent piece of music.

A very ambitious and to these ears, successful song which drew me into the mystery in both lyrics and music. A celtic sound yes, but with a modern feel that reminded me of Enya and Sandy Denny in her Fotheringay time.
Well done!
Robert

Great Composition, lots going on making it really interesting.
Maybe the vocals could have been a touch more forward but I love female vocals in atmospheric songs. Yep I think it was Celtic, contemporary and you have both done a fantastic job!
PS Listened to some other compositions of yours too. Very Talented, and inspirational!

Thanks Mario for your positive words And thanks for your valuable feedback concerning the vocal being distracted. I think I mixed vocals bit too low because I didn't trust my ears. Janne
