Faxanadu - 'Mantra' EWI Cover

It's nice to be back! This is my first post since October of last year, which I think is a new record for time without uploading for me!

Mostly I've been being a dad, doing some indie game dev stuff, and contributing to some other recording projects. It's becoming clear that my uploads are probably going to continue to be infrequent, but I haven't got any plans to stop recording soon, so I hope you'll continue to join me in the future :)

This track was a request from Zebetite. Hope you enjoy what I've done with it! I felt like that repeated melody would work perfectly with some textural augmentation/variation over its repetitions, but I tried to keep it mostly subtle and in the same vein as the groove of the original.
