8dio Stand Out Contest Submission: "The Jungle" by Juriy Nikitin

This was composed as part of a selection of tracks to accompany the signing of the register at my daughter's wedding.

8Dio Adagietto string chords were improvised and then layered to give space then I improvised the Virharmonic Bohemian Violin over the top for the melody.
