MARAN | daydreaming on a train @MaranDavid | Uploaded January 2023 | Updated October 2024, 2 hours ago.
Song I made for piano, violin and string ensemble in FL Studio 20. Video format inspired by @AZALI00013 .

I made a prelude about the catharsis of leaving a place behind, with all its woes -- as well as the good times. The name 'daydreaming on a train' is a more literal name than I usually do for my compositions, as I tried to subtly mimic several aspects of a train -- visually you can see railway tracks in the left piano track, musically you can hear the droning notes that are always present somewhere in the background (like the droning ambience whilst on the train), as well as the consistent (poly)rhythmic pulse of the machinery of the train. The structure is also going forward constantly -- the expression of the string ensemble and solo instruments slowly increases towards the climax. I once more added the orchestral backing to the piece, but added much more reverb AND added a synthesizer to add depth and some ambient noises.
I used FL Studio automation (tempo and volume). Piano is Native Instruments' NOIRE Pure. Violin is a sample or vst from Alpine Project (violin long 1). String ensemble are the Cinematic Strings. Cello is the Tina Guo Cello by Cinesamples. I also added atmospheric, ambient plucked piano strings in the background. Mixing & mastering with Valhalla VintageVerb, Fruity Reeverb 2, Soundgoodizer, iZotope Ozone 6 & oeksound soothe2.
Hope you enjoy!
