Compositional Notes

#

This is one of my first forays into MIDI composition. I primarily used Spitfire Audio LABS and Logic Pro instruments.

The brief was “ambient listening”, so I decided to go for soft strings playing pizzicato and harmonics in the first half, and synthesizers in the second half. The cello melody was made using the LABS Cello Moods, a patch that changes pitch depending on the length of the note, allowing the rapid creation of seemingly complex melodies, from not very many notes at all.
