Jeff Hijlkema | Adagio for Tallinn Strings (Orchestral Tools) @jeffhijlkema | Uploaded August 2024 | Updated October 2024, 2 hours ago.
This polyphonic adagio is somewhat inspired by the La Follia chord structure. Originally my Adagio was composed with Finale (score featuring in the video). Last few days I’ve been attaching these notes to the lingering strings from the Orchestral Tools Tallinn vst, embraced by a little Cathedral reverb from the Fabfilter Pro-R. I like the certain density that's in this reverb sound, as if the instruments are cutting their way through the big space that’s pressing on the string sound, provoking the lingering atmosphere.
Instrument palette:
Violins 1 – Orchestral Tools, Tallinn violins – panned more to the left.
Violins 2 – Orchestral Tools, Tallinn violins - panned more to the right.
Violas – Orchestral Tools, Tallinn violas – centered left.
Celli – Orchestral Tools, Tallinn Celli – centered right.
Basses – Orchestral Tools, Tallinn Basses – centered.
Arcticulations used: Sustain Legato – Portato long – Portato short.
All is produced using Cubase 13 Pro, with some fine UAD and Fabfilter mixing and mastering tools.
In most of my other video descriptions I mention my mixing and mastering plugins, also with settings.
Be well,
Jeff Hijlkema
