It's Been a Lot

If you're familiar with the Deluge, you know that its creator made the firmware open source a few years ago. With the release of the latest stable version, the dev team held a preset-making contest. This happened last year but I just discovered it this week.
I downloaded the presets and immediately checked out the winner: Mark Young's Saumur Piano. The notes say, "Saumur Piano is a public piano that sits outside all summer next to the Loire. Samples were recorded by hand and used to make the preset."
It sounds much as you'd expect. I used the tuned version of the preset. I love how ambient conversations and dishes clanking can transport one sonically.
Once I loaded it, I just wanted to make something pretty. The other two sounds come from the great Boards of Deluge presets by Krzysztof Stęplowski.
