#DopeTunes I love

Deep-Tech House/Trip-Hop/Chill Neo-funk/Rock Indie

Illustrating some of the new pianos on Pianobook - Claustrophobic Piano and Midnight Upright. And Echoes Guitar also from Pianobook.
Plus atmos from the LABS instrument Tundra Atmos.
Dedicated to the musician Harold Budd who passed, from Covid 19 complications late last year.

Fragments

Although it appears first on the EP, it was the last track I wrote for it. The name comes from that fact it's the first track on my first EP of commercially released original music, but also looking to evoke a sense of unity, in a world where the opposite is so prevalent, especially now. 
For the music makers out there, apart from the guitar tracks, the whole track uses strictly Spitfire LABS instruments, which are available for free from Spitfire Audio.

Krakatoa

this is a track inspired by and featuring (free) Flautando Violin. Using exclusively its ricochet samples. https://www.pianobook.co.uk/packs/flautando-violin/
Autumn piano and some synth sounds included.

ricochet

I'm pretty happy with today's track...it's a bit delicate and sweet with some rising emotion. If I spent more time on it I think I'd build the crescendo even more. Maybe I'll come back to it. 

Featuring Dan Keen's Basic Backdrops instrument from pianobook.co.uk

Ever since we first heard Fhin's haunting song 'Those Waves' we wanted to remix it and now we actually had the chance of actually doing so! Here's the outcome, hope you enjoy.

p.s. For the musicians: this one has a 6/4th time signature and runs at 70bpm. Quite far out of our comfort zone but that's how we like it.

Check out the original and his other work here:

What Doesn't Hold Is Bound to Break

A lonely soul emerges from a dark chasm into the moonlight. He aimlessly walks for hours on end, free from the confines of the place he just left.

Astral (feat. Axel Grassi-Havnen)

This is a short composition demoing a Steinway Grand sampled by Jon Meyer available at: 

https://www.pianobook.co.uk/library/steinway-grand/

It's a lovely sounding piano... warm, rich and quite a soft tone across most of the keyboard. No EQ or compression used here, only some reverb. This piece hopefully demonstrates this.
