Secret Santa 8: (Hopefully not) The Last Santa

Late lunch

For Orni during Summer Santa 25.

Going through Orni's extensive catalouge two environmental tracks "The Open Sea" and "Fields" really stuck out to me in how different and yet similar they are. I decided to make a metal medley out of them - the changes between 3/4 and 5/4 work really well in that genre. I had a ton of fun reducing the very complex layers into 4 guitars and 1 bass (and a surprise towards the end).
