There is a store I'm familiar with in a part of the Richmond area called World of Mirth and Whimsy. There are a great deal of unique, non-mainstream children's toys there. Educational toys, etc. I heard your demo and immediately thought of the store. Not sure of the toxic level of their toys (I can't think of any toy made of plastic not having a level of toxicity to it), but this certainly stoked a child-like wonder I used to know. I appreciate this.

In the rhythmic beat part, I hear the production lines chugging out plastic bottles like friggin clockwork. The ping of the machines. Ugh. It's a wonderful piece, and an awful problem.

The vibrating-sounding synth (?) is brilliant in this. Just small variations, but they drive the listener through the different feels of the main melody. This is really nice.

I love the glittery sound! I can easily imagine hearing this in the hours of hype leading up to the start of a big event or premiere.

This is such a atmospheric, inspiring piece of music, it makes me think of eerie TV programmes, with nods to Elizabethan tunes - familiar and exotic - fab skirmish

This is a hypnotic piece with undercurrents that's fits the title really well. Fantastic as always.

Ooh, nice choice of sounds Nadia - has a great early 80s feel to it. And as always you manage to evoke so much without the need for words. Another fine piece of work 👌
