Something a bit different this time. I found out a few days ago that Austin Wintory is running a contest for musicians to make a song based just on twelve notes and I thought it sounded like a fun exercise, regardless of the results. I would have liked to develop this one a bit longer, but unfortunately I only noticed the contest at the beginning of the week and didn't have time to do more.

[technical information]
This song was sequenced in Pro Tools using the following plugins:
- Spectrasonic's Omnisphere for the melody and most of the padwork
- Sample Logic's Gamelan for the arpeggio
- EastWest's Forbidden Planet for additional padwork
- Native Instrument's Cloud Supply for additional padwork
- EastWest's Hollywood Orchestra for a flute augmenting the longer notes in the padwork, the low cello later in the song, and the distant anvil later in the song
- EastWest's Hollywood Choirs for the choir
- Native Instrument's Butch Vig Drums for the noise burst percussion and the low drum
- EastWest's Spaces II for additional reverb across many of the instruments
- XLN Audio's RC-20 for additional processing on the percussion
