A Very Long Preset

For a while I wanted to do some actual ambient work. When playing around with the release version of Ableton 12 and the new Granulator III, I stumbled across this preset called Piano Quartz that on its own already started like half of a Nils Frahm song. (Don't worry, I don't want to belittle Nils Frahm, the other 50% are 99% of the work, and also, I love his music). It feels a bit like a cheat, but the result is quite soothing I think. I added some well hidden drums, some rainy ambience and a bit of noodling.
I know this is probably a bit of a downer after last weeks track, but I darn well do what I want here 
Funny side note: My once beefy desktop machine can't handle the 3-4 voice Granulator, I had to freeze the track which is fun on an 8 minute track.
Another funny side note: Standard encoding out of Ableton was resulting in a file too big for Weeklybeats.
