The goal of the band has always been to create epic compositions, with sprawling instrumental portions in which each instrument is important. On the album, mellotrons and mandolins are listed. Are there pipes on there as well' Are these all real instruments or computer-generated samples' And what about the live setting' oWe used quite a few instruments for the album this time around,o reveals Vidarr. oI played the mandolin, along with 6 and 12 string acoustic guitars. The Mellotron and Hammond organ were both VST instruments, but they were played and recorded live on a keyboard as a midi controller: nothing was programmed.o
