Next step is for me to finish mixing and mastering, which means I have to pull out the proper monitor speakers from the back of the closet ~yay~

This has been an amazing effort from you all. My thanks to you all, including some folks who weren't able to record a part but were really helpful during the production.

Update 2024-10-15: Progressive mixdown now with vocal parts from @herzleid. What a fantastic vocal ensemble we have now, on top of all the fantastic instrumental performances!

Can be heard by contributors on the Dropbox link.

Drawing the line now on submissions, except for a couple of vocals that we've prearranged extensions on. My job now is to fill in anything that is still missing, TBH not much, because wow, so many quality stems from you all. Great job!

Update 2024-10-12: Progressive mixdown on Dropbox site now contains vocals and oboe from @raaahbin, and sampled bells and pads from @philsawa; thanks! Also replaced my harmonica in the instrumental with something less intrusive (sorry sknob, I know you loved it, you were the only one)!

I reckon we're close to done. A couple more folks have offered vocal parts, and I'll gladly mix those in as I receive them. I have an idea to tie in the elements of the instrumental, and unless there's a piccolo trumpeter in our midst, I'll have to resort to synthesis.
