Hello everyone!! 🦉🌲👋
We have been quiet as of late, but we always keep our eyes on the comments and messages that we receive. This year, lots of new people have found our music, but lots of people who have stuck around for many years have also continued to listen to our music.
In the era of digital music, it can be easy to miss the meaning behind these numbers. We have never been ones to aim for achieving any particular goals, but it does seem rather wild when we imagine if the same amount of listeners would be in one room, together, at one time. In particular, when the instrumental version of Cry of the Forest surpassed a million streams on Spotify during the past week. Tree of Life's instrumental is separately on path to cross a million streams, perhaps around the year's end. One million people... It's hardly fathomable when we think back to excitedly making these songs; Merry at home in Germany and Jordi at his home in England. It sincerely blows our little minds and fills our hearts with gratitude to be able to bring something positive to the world!
We wanted to thank you all, truly. We are so warmed and touched by all the support we've continued to receive; not just through Spotify of course, but via whichever means you listen to our music or have reached out to us. It gives us motivation, encouragement and strength to nourish the seeds of new ideas as they begin to sprout and take root. 🌱
We love you all very much and hope that you're all having a lovely wintertime, warm and cosy. Please take care and stay in touch - we love hearing from you!
- Jordi & Merry, your grateful Forest Elves 🙏

Our dear supporters ✨
We have also released the vocal and instrumental versions of Elven Lullaby on Spotify (as well as other streaming services) and our website! A lot of you seemed to enjoy this one, so hopefully now that it's available in a few more places, it can be even easier to listen to it whenever you want to!
Much love,
Jordi & Merry

Hello Owls! 🦉
A few days ago, we released some new music for the first time in a while. You can watch the video we created for our song Spell here on our channel. You can also stream it on Spotify or Apple music if you prefer to listen to music through those, or you can buy and listen to it on Bandcamp or our website if you wish to support us a little (the instrumental version is also available at all these places!)
It's so nice to be able to share music with you all again and we love to hear all your thoughts about our music. We endlessly appreciate your encouragement and it's great to be back!

Hello Owls!!
It's Jordi here to let you know I'm creating a new channel and share my first video with you 🙂
Edge of Night (Pippin's Song):

✵ Music Announcement ✵
To those of whom that have been following my music over the years,
Music is something that has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I've dabbled on YouTube since I was 13, and I created my main YouTube channel in 2011 a week before my 18th birthday. It's been a wonderful experience having the freedom to explore my creativity, to collaborate with some incredibly musicians around the world, as well as my transition to creating and releasing original music properly over the years too.
Through this exploration, the YouTube channel that has been home to my experiments and releases for ten years is a bit of an amalgamation of many different creations of varying age and quality. I learned that there is so much that I could create with just one laptop, one microphone and a few instruments in my bedroom. It's been so much fun and I'm very proud of the journey, and I'm certainly not ashamed of anything I've created earlier in my youth. It is just that much of the content on this channel is by now quite outdated, and not representative of the level of music that I am creating now, which is wonderful in its own way as it shows how far I've come!
Now, aged 27, I am committed to focusing on music. I have always worked on music alongside my degree, my work, and everything else I have done in life. I've been transitioning to a point where my music is shifted gradually more to the forefront and while I'm not quite there yet, I feel that it is time to create a new space for my recent music. I will be committing to uploading more regularly, and putting a lot of effort and energy into the music that I upload.
So, ten years after creating my first channel, I am starting with my new "first video" - a cover of Edge of Night from The Lord of the Rings, in which I've performed and recorded all the accompanying instruments. Coincidentally, the first video on my last channel was also a cover of this song performed by 17 year old Jordi. Onwards and upwards!
Of course, I'll still keep my old channel up to retain all the content that I've created over the years... consider it now a "legacy" channel in a way.
So I'm jumping from 2.7k subscribers down to 0 again. If you want to follow my newest music, please subscribe! It takes a lot of time and effort to start from the ground up again, and I'll be putting all my energy into making sure you won't regret it 🙂
Everybody's support over the years has played a part in this decision, so thank you all of you so much for your love and encouragement. It's not the first time I've thanked you for it, and it certainly won't be the last. In the meantime, please enjoy this release!

Hello Owls and Happy Sunday! :)
We hope that you're all doing well and having a wonderful weekend. We still have lots of creations that we've been working hard on, and that are ready to be released! We'd just like to make sure we do it properly and we're both a little tired, so we're going to have a bit of a rest. Don't worry, we're not hibernating, just re-energising! We've never worked this hard before and committed so much time and energy into getting all of our creations to you guys at such a regular rate. We're super proud of ourselves for reaching so many goals that we've wanted to reach for so long, and we are never ones to feel like we have to rush anything. We would much rather take whatever time we might need to really put our all into each and every one of our many projects that we like to juggle simultaneously! ^_^;
So for this Sunday, we won't be uploading anything, and we just wanted to let you know in case you were confused or expecting it! As well as this, we have been experimenting with regular schedules. This was something we've never done before, and something that many content creators do so that their audience can know when to expect uploads. But we feel that we definitely prefer to have the freedom to release things exactly when we want to, rather than to be bound by particular times or days. It feels much nicer to be in the right mood and fully prepared in our own time, and for us, releasing a new creation to the world is such a special moment that we want the time and space to share together, properly!
You are all so wonderful and we'll soon be reaching 8000 subscribers... whew. What a supportive community you guys are, really. Thank you all so much, and we're really happy that you're on the journey with us to see what the future holds.
Your Elves,
Jordi & Merry
