Autumn coming in with season just changing the music hits slightly differently. Congratulations on finishing Volume II, thank you for sharing all the pieces with us and can't wait for what's coming next.
I finally had a chance to dig into this piece...and I felt I was inside that wonderful log cabin, curled up on an old couch, wrapped in an old blanket, and feeling the warmth from that wood fire...
I love that it could transport you to such a vivid setting — whenever I am stressed, I like to imagine a situation just like that, and I can calm down. It's a refuge. Thank you, as always, for listening!
I'm so glad it could be calming for you — I'm having the same issue right now, so I totally get it. Thank you so much for listening. Hopefully we'll return to some normal sleep patterns soon!
I stole a calm moment in the dining room to play this, and I don't know what it means, but the Wildlings (the 2 kids Max and Mari) crawled in and sat next to the table and listened calmly. When it was over Max said "Dad I like that twinkle sound, it sounds like me and Mari are getting married". Very much enjoyed by the family- awesome work Fog.
Glad you like the shirt, Kevin! (I actually do post all these photos for you, tbh — I think to myself, "Kevin will appreciate this." So, I'm glad you're enjoying them. Thanks for always being there to support. Means a lot.
This piece is beautiful. I finished watching Taegan's documentary right before listening to Beneath the Woodbine, and I thought the collaboration was wonderful.
I love it! As always, beautiful work. Crafted with detail and appreciation for the work. The photo is amazing and the time spent seems heavenly. Looking forward to volume 3!
Thank you, Andy! You have been here from the very beginning, and I am so grateful. I know these songs aren't your usual jam, so I appreciate you coming along for the ride anyway! I'll get cracking on some songs with vocals for you soon 🤗
I found myself sighing a lot listening to this, letting a hundred different, unidentified, things go... Thank you, always, for such beautiful music and words. Your collaboration with Taegan is so moving, you guys are a perfect pairing! And this poem, and your gorgeous reading of it... My nervous system thanks you, over & over 💜
Thank you so much, Chloe. As you can imagine, working with Taegan was a dream. He is such a thoughtful writer and creator, and it was just a privilege to get the chance to be a part of his process. And, as always, thank you so much for listening, to both the song and the poem. It means a lot that you are here, and I hope that all is well in your world.
Listening to this while waiting for my train back home, sitting in the soft autumn sun ☀️enjoying this composition. I feel warmth, gratitude and serenity 🙏 thanks Fog
Perfect ending to the cycle. The arrangement is great: the pad of woodwinds, piano, and pizzicato strings really groove. The percussive clarinet and mallets in the last section are like a gesture to Steve Reich's Music for 18 Musicians but sounds very modern also. Congrats on seeing this project through. We're all looking forward to the next chapter...
YES — Steve Reich. I feel like I'm always dancing around that piece in particular (one of my personal favorites).
And hey, thank you so much for your incredible support over the last two years. Your ideas, input, and feedback have helped me shape this newsletter, and I'm so grateful for that.
All I love about music! A simple invitation. Thank you for this piece/peace of calm✨

So beautiful and needed right now. Thank you
Thank you, Lail — hope you all are doing okay out there across the pond.
Beautiful track. :))

I'm excited to discover more of your music during the coming year!
Thank you! I'm excited to write and share more!
My baby has been waking up every two hours at night recently, this is what I needed to listen to this morning. So beautiful and calming ♥️
I'm so glad it could be calming for you — I'm having the same issue right now, so I totally get it. Thank you so much for listening. Hopefully we'll return to some normal sleep patterns soon!
What a lovely musical piece, and what a loving collaboration between you two.
Thank you so much, Nadia — very kind of you to leave a note. Thanks for being here.

Aw, that is very sweet! Thanks for sharing that story my friend, and thank you Max and Mari!
Beautiful work, as always, and congrats on seeing/hearing your work on the big screen! How cool is that? It had to feel great.
And I know you're not posting them for me, but thank you for the pic of the cabin/Mt. Hood nat'l forest.
P.S. Rich is right; these shirts are really comfy.
Glad you like the shirt, Kevin! (I actually do post all these photos for you, tbh — I think to myself, "Kevin will appreciate this." So, I'm glad you're enjoying them. Thanks for always being there to support. Means a lot.
I definitely appreciate them! And thank YOU for all of your support & help.
