Taurin's Lament

Short on time I thought I would just do a simple 2 chord ambient thing with the Yamaha SY22 Full String patch. I've prob had story time about this keyboard before but the SY22 has that particular string patch that Moby uses so often on his ambient tracks and even some of the hits. I found it used pretty cheap back on ebay way back and the keybed itself was in bad shape but thankfully the tone generator works just fine. This patch is prob my fav patch to just play slow chords to when I'm not feeling well. The more you double up on the notes the more soothing it feels (at least on its own).
I had been humming the theme sorta earlier and thought I should try using some vocal samples if I could.
I guess the soothing inspired a bit more as I added in some stuff from Spitfire Labs' Gaelic Voices and Micah's Choir.
Other than my affinity for Dminor I seem to have clung to the Cmajor to C#major chord relationship. Mostly cuz it's just an easy half step up on the keys.
Thank you for reading and listening. I hope you are well and enjoying your season change where ever you may be (cuz we def don't have em down here!)
