Apricity, literally 'the warmth of the winter sun', is an orchestral-ambient work and a collab with https://soundcloud.com/echosonica. I had an idea to make a classical orchestral dronescape. I heard Elena's ambient tracks and believed we could make something different. Given airy, diverging atmospheric pad layers, I then wrote the orchestral lines on top. I used evolving, dynamic string articulations and non-traditional wind and brass articulations to give an evolving, evocative soundscape with themes of light and dark and how despair converges into hope.. 

The whole work is on BandCamp and Spotify later. I used mostly Spitfire Audio software including the BBC Symphony Orchestra, Felted Piano, Orchestral Swarms, and Eric Whitacre Choir. This is my first true ambient work.

Dawn of the morning lightly caresses
The moon touch of our hearts reveals 
In the blackest of nights..
In the breathlessness of circumstances 
The embracing hearts slowly heals..
