‘Ironsmith’s Daughter’ by Hele is a moving instrumental piece characterised by a contemplative guitar loop and sharp, melancholic strings. Its movement has a flow-like quality, that oozes with a sense of nostalgia and fleeting feelings.
The piece is part of a world with many moving parts. Its soundscape longs for something outside of itself, something to embrace and keep. Its sharp strings give the song an edge that feels piercing and raw. A looping, dark guitar serves as an anchor for these strong feelings while introducing the listener to a motif of dark lament.
