always love what they're making, so this time I wanted to write a short contextual (instead of out of the box for the last one) demo track called "Seafarer Comes Ashore" to test the different patches. I used Solo String Formations, Soft String Soloists (Cello and Viola) a tiny bit of Trails and Spotlight. The only lib not from FS is the Celeste, from Soniccouture (which btw is a crazy good Celeste).
hope you'll enjoy

The cover is a truly breathtaking photo taken by my very close friend Jim Newblood. Thank you once again brother, from the bottom of my heart, for being here, and inspiring me to be a better human being everytime. You've been tirelessly giving me thousands of reasons to smile when I couldn't.
I hope 2025 will bring you all peace and fulfilment. Times are weird but one thing remains in all the darkness - that thing is love. I always wanted to believe that. Today I actually do.
Wanted to try the new Solo String Soloist, ended up making this little arrangement of the legendary Arthur Theme by Alexandre Astier, with some reharmonizations here and there.
VSTs used:
Soft String Soloist (Fracture Sounds @fracturesounds)
Appassionata Strings (Spitfire Audio @spitfireaudiollp)
Arkhis (Native Instruments @NativeInstruments)
Theme originally wrote by Alexandre Astier for Kaamelott.

Technical details: 100% String Formations, no other libs, no comp, no EQ, nothing on the mix channels. I only have a single Fabfilter L2 limiter on the master chain.
I had the idea of going purely out of the box for this demo instead of contextual with other libs, to showcase the different articulations better and to immediatly give the listener a direct idea of the sound. Context is crucial, of course, but personally I always listen to "naked" demos first, often only them. Bit tired of buying stuff that sound nothing like the demo.
So I wrote a short and a bit abstract harmonic progression that gently flies through differents modulations to showcase the different timbres here and there.
Hope that'll somehow be useful,
Love,
Mey

I interpreted the proposed melody as a B flat mixolydian arpeggio, so I basically built on that! Came up with the idea of voicing the melody with a violin, while a second violin completes the harmony and supports the chord progression. I also added a cello to support the overall gradual build-up with light spiccatos, adding a bit more life and excitement to the mix. I also added a celeste, because... I always add a celeste? (•̀ᴗ•́)و ̑̑
Many thanks to Austin for this opportunity and best of luck to everyone participating!💛

2:28 Tiny Ramparts Night
Tiny Ramparts (formerly Tetradom) is a micro strategy game made by Samuel Alfred (vfqd) for Ludum Dare: vfqd.itch.io/tiny-ramparts
When I first played this game, I couldn't help hearing a bardcore/medieval adaptation of Коробе́йники (Korobeiniki) in my head. So I naturally wrote it down and it's now the O.S.T ԅ(≖‿≖ԅ)
Tetris theme was based on a russian song written in the 19th century called Коробе́йники (Korobeiniki). I used this song as an inspiration for the Tiny Rampart's theme.
