Hey, I think I like it! Once it's smoothed out (and notes anticipated
), it will be great! It's encouraging that the music sounds like what I intended it to be in the good places, and it's actually not so bad in the places I thought are a bit contrived.
A small shift downward is remarkably easy to do, so it's still on the table at any point in time.

Because the author is mad in the most beautiful way possible and derives words from unexpected places. Like
deidi that I mentioned before - look me in the eye and tell me that has nothing to do with "daddy". There's a bunch more clearly English words that have been stylized. But in this case, "difficult cloak" is not actually out of the question, if "difficult" means "intricate". So perhaps Sindarin after all.

Hilariously, the forum is still there; apparently I also started a script for War of Wrath (I keep finding scraps of paper with bits of this on it), and - sound familiar? - a translation of a foreign script for Fall of Gondolin. |
That's a whole forum just for that project!!! That is amazing! Sad that it didn't see action though.

It lives on!
