Style: dungeon synth
Primary Emotions/Themes: wandering, exploration, discovery
Thoughts: Let's go on an adventure together! Come with me as we chronicle the adventures of the Vale Minstrel. Across vast lands, babbling brooks, to lands untold.
Vale Minstrel is a short but very impactful entry into the dungeon synth/fantasy synth genre. Revolving around simple melodies played by either a harp, flute, or other fitting medieval instrument, these twenty minutes of music do their absolute best to whisk the listener away to fantastical worlds that have never been observed by the naked eye. This is the realm of high fantasy and the domain of the mind.
Each one of the nine tracks on the album have a visual accompaniment with the tracks title giving a strong indication of what the Minstrel wishes to convey. The opening track lets us stop in a village for a drink. The fifth recalls the tales of a storied bard, the seventh a puzzle box by a jester. The images flow into my head with the music and the track titles combined.
Vale Minstrel's album is short and to the point. There is no fluff, straight to the point. It's wonderful and I wish that more artists would take note of how to trim all the extraneous items out of their album to create something this good.
