You did an exellent job here. Love the strings swelling in the endless space. A song very close to heaven.

This is beautifully sad.

Beautiful sounding piano with epic space strings! I like how the strings swirl and dance around the chords of the piano.  Well done!

Thanks guys!

The sadness is supposed to inspire you to get out of bed and go to...an art gallery or something! To make this track, I improv'd some strings over a very simple repeating piano piece, then I put some reverb on the strings, then I composed the piano a little better and added some new patterns...then I added some clean strings and subtle french horn and went back to clean up the improv'd strings a little and played around with the reverb and pan settings. I'm pretty bad at explaining how I make things, I hope this is the answer you're looking for...Other than that, I do most of my composing/recording with energyXT and I use miroslav philharmonic for strings and an old version of art vista virtual grand piano. The strings sound a little thin sometimes, and the piano sound can be a bit narrow...but I try to make it work. Any vst recommendations would be helpful!
