The host has few ratings and no comments? This must be remedied! Thanks for hosting this jam. It's been a fantastic experience!

Savage State: Wow! Those vocals really speak to the title of the track. What did you use for those? The atmosphere here is spectacular. It really feels like I'm out in the boonies somewhere. 

Pastoral State: I love the feelings of peace here. Very tranquil. I could see this track being used in a game like Civ. 

Consummation: It's a shame you weren't able to get more than the concept. I would love to see how you would have orchestrated it. But I get it. Time is a harsh enemy to contend with.

Destruction: Ahh, the drums of war. I like your use of horns here. The way everything grows is very nice. It's like you're standing on a hill watching as the enemy draws closer. A great feeling of looming dread.

Desolation: Oh those strings in the beginning! That haunting, scratching sound as the bow slowly moves across the fragile strings. A great opening to this somber track. 

This entry was at times haunting and visceral and at others beautiful. But it was all very real and emotional.

Thank you! Making me feel better about running out of time. :)

The vocals were just my singing in all of it. The strings were my talharpa and my cello. For the deep bass strings I just pitched my cello down one and two octaves simultaneously for that last track.

I really appreciate your thoughtful feedback! Thank you again.

Edit - listening again - those bowed strings are me bowing the talharpa strings open. It makes me think I should make a proper viola da gamba, which is sort of like a cello but with frets, so the strings sound more open. When I made my talharpa, I made it have holes shaped like a viola da gamba, and even put in bracing to simulate the walls of the viol so it would sound more like a viol. It sounds super viol-like and hence it's giving me that itch to make another instrument. Those are gut strings that make that raspy sound.
