I have seen a couple of approaches towards the theme that are about the main character's inner feelings, and it's always interesting to see what everyone focuses on. I love the setting you put yourself in, with the snowy mountain and the shadowy figure comparing to one's negative feelings about oneself. Your project was directed by that idea and it shows. My favorites are Shades on the Trail and To Claim Oneself; there's action and pacing, that serve as a great climax for the progression the rest of the collection works up. The instrument picking on all tracks was great, the overall atmosphere is snowy. Thoroughly enjoyed my stay!
