instant fave. did you record that orchestra loop yourself?

Thanks!

Thanks for your comment! Unfortunately, I don't have access to a real orchestra... I composed every note in Ableton and used the Orchestral sound bank for the sounds. With its multisample (multiple samples (velocity) per note per instruments) it can be expressive enough to sound somewhat close to the real deal. I'd love to record real instruments for one weekly beat someday though...

very groovy. i need to try your approach of not junking a file and pushing on with it instead. especially if they turn out like this.

As the back story indicates this is a good testament to the value of perseverance as it would have been a shame to scrap this.  The orchestra sounds really good for being synthetic, especially the one that sounds kind of like a bassoon.  I do sense the tinge of melancholy, but at the same time it manages to sound upbeat to me as well.  Nice job.

Awesome beat and the xylophone line is super catchy.  Kinda reminded me a bit of Xploding Plastix in the way the xylo played off the Brass.  Really cool track

Great job, this is what I love about hip hop, any sound can work, when the track starts you have no idea a hip hop beat is going to drop

This is great! Sort of has this Elfman dark fantasy feel to it. If that makes sense. Either way, really enjoyed it. Great work on the orchestral sounds!

Clever use of orchestral tones with the electro beats.  Fun track.
