Greetings Patrons,
I had the music for this track completely finished before I knew where it would be set. I had two leading candidates: An abandoned sci-fi facility, or a spooky woodland setting. These might seem like wildly different locations, but I think they're strangely similar in vibe.
I ended up choosing the woodland setting because I had just been reading about the feywild, and dryads in particular, and I thought they struck a nice balance of beauty and danger. That's what I was going for in Dusk of the Dryad.
This track is in sneak-peek mode, so I've included the mixed-version (which will be on the website next week), as well as music-only and ambience-only versions.
I think the music-only track would make an excellent generic mystery/tension style background piece for a wide variety of scenarios. As I said in above, I really like it for sci-fi set pieces. The ambience-only is a fairly typical woodland, but the crows give it a bit of a sinister edge. I hope you find these versions useful.
Thank you all, as always, for your continuing support.
Best,
Tim
