Ten Castles - with Icarus the Sun Beckons by MementoAeterna published on 2012-12-17T03:54:02Z Memento Aeterna - lyrics, vocals, piano, violin Icarus the Sun Beckons - guitar, percussion, vocals, amazingness @icarus-the-sun-beckons --- This song is one that I wrote quite a long time ago, but had never recorded. I suppose sometimes even the most immediate and raw thought needs time to settle, sink in a bit, before it can be given a life of its own. Indeed, it became clear to me that this song needed to stew, ferment, bubble, brew, distill, and receive some gentle coaxing before it was eventually willed into existence by the patient and talented Icarus the Sun Beckons. https://soundcloud.com/icarus-the-sun-beckons I am so ridiculously grateful that he was willing to lend his guitar, voice, percussion, mastering, and creative vision to this piece; forming something far more than I ever imagined. :) https://soundcloud.com/icarus-the-sun-beckons/ten-castles-final Genre Whispers in the Dark Comment by Mangalyan Records Enchanting story, real climate, great collab ! 2013-10-09T01:50:30Z Comment by VDO The ambiance is wonderful both laid back yet epic !! love the jazzy drums on the background, and the combination of your vocals with artful masquerade !!
