[@benbrown8258]

I noticed a lot of people saying that should be more popular and it should be more hits on it. I have shared this with a bunch of people and even told a radio DJ about this who had never heard it before and thoroughly liked it. I'm definitely pushing it in the future with other radio DJ people. This deserves AirPlay and a wider audience. The artist is fantastic!!!

[@4Usuality]

I'm a radio DJ/Morning show host and I'd love to make a radio station that just plays all sorts of cool music regardless of the instrument or whatever, definitely hard to come by but it would be excellent some day :)

[@kadezick659]

[@vgman94]

I haven’t seen such a beautiful work of art in a long time. This is a true masterpiece. Thank everyone involved for making this.

[@TheFirstHinotoriFan]

To me it feels like you're walking through the illusory memory of an ancient ruins, unable to touch or speak to the ghosts of times passed, but they shift through you like you were never there. Watching the ages go by as you walk the hallowed halls of these long-gone citizens, where they once laughed, cried, played, worked, crooned; every utterance ringing in these dust-covered memories till their ultimate end.

Absolutely fantastic Guilhem, the music which you played for us in Wellington and Oparau (New Zealand) is with me again, and brilliantly animated too. Keeping to the essential contrast of black and white is so perfect. You are truly a master of so much, from your building of the gurdy, to composing delightful melodies & rhythms, being a true showman on stage, and now this wonderful package. Congratulations, and keep it coming brother. I'm buying your CD and promoting it for sure.

First time I watched this was in the middle of the night, and that's usually when I'm tripping out from how tired I am, so I thought I was on a higher plane of existence when I was listening to it. So when I woke up the next day I was disappointed that I wasn't just experiencing something similar to heaven and instead was still on earth.
