May I comment this with one word?
Schön ;-)

(Ok, one more ting: The idea to use the siblings as a part of the rythm has something
hypnotic - as the whole song)

Hey hey,
this is my latest song, a very quiet song balancing on the edge between gentle
electro and acoustic downtempo:

OGG Version:

On the Linux side I used Csound with my handpan instrument, one conga like
sound and a wobbly pad and many effects and rhythmic elements. There are also
field recordings of rain and crickets. LinuxSampler for piano, djembe and
table and Yoshimi for one of the choir layers. My hardware wavetable synth
served for teh phasey pad, FM-like bass and the other choir layer and twice
analogue goodnees for the deep main basses.
No new plugins in the production, but more attention to perceived depth.
And finally, here are the lyrics:
Sprite on the ice
In a mist laden dream.
Like rain from the skies,
You touch
And are gone with the stream.
Now, here...
I feel you close
Soft like a tear,
Sharp as a rose.
-
You're so near but far away,
Out of reach, across the seas.
Seeking you I sail astray,
I'll strive for you without cease.
Frozen and seared
By the rays of your moon.
My heart burns to dust
If I can't find you soon.
Here, now...
I make a vow.
I'll cross the earth,
Volcanoes and all... To you.
-
You're so near but far away,
Out of reach, across the seas.
Seeking you I sail astray,
I'll strive for you without cease.
Best wishes,
Jeanette
