Boughs Above, Soil Below (Lemon Lavender Pie Version)
Fenmoss
(From the upcoming album Loam & Lavender, coming soon to the swampy woods near you...) "With a snap, you are back on your barstool. No, wait, you are standing in the woods? Peaty soil softer than any lordly rug squishes beneath your feet. The air is hazy with a humid midday. The noontide fire of a summer sun is so oppressive you have to shut your eyes for a moment. When they reopen, you really are back in the tavern...for now..." (Roll a saving throw vs. paralysis or be blinded for a moment by the majesty of the forest which the mysterious bard has so intensely cast before you)
5:33

Here is the audio from my performance at this year's Virtual Dungeon Crawl, organized yet again by the incomparable Ziri of Arcane Chapel (Zireael, Feijoa Tree, Deadly Doe, Ginormous Mole, Buried in Desolation) for nothing other than sheer love of the game and service to our growing community of the denizens of synth.

My set consists of four tracks, two originally from Tales From the Fishwife, one from my split with Dusk Merchant for last year's October Dungeon Shamble, and one from an upcoming album, all lovingly remixed and recorded across a feverish mix of home studio sessions and live performances. Hopefully you enjoy it and maybe I'll see you along the forest road someday...

Stay Strong. Stay Safe. Stay Swamp Synth.
