I Catch You - soundtrack

I left my home this year. 
During my journey I passed Armenia and got duduk.
It's very challenging to play, but so expressive and live...

This is my first attempt to record my performance with it. This sketch reflects my feelings about leaving my home and about all the events of this apocalyptic year.

Far from home

This is my take on Elena Davis "Last Yellow leaves" piece - very simple arpegio-based one. 
My daughter was learning it during her piano lessons, so I decided to create a backing track for her. 
This version is more of a standalone one.
Strings are Spitfire Appassionata.

Last Yellow Leaves

This track was written spontaneously after I purchased EPS Extended Electric Guitar by Edu Prado Sounds. "Random ARP" was so beatiful - it just inspired me so I composed this in less than a day, it was all polishing afterwards.
I used Audio Imperia Solo for cello and flute, NI Abby Road drummer for drums.
Strings are Spitfire Intimate stirngs with a bit of solo violin from AI.
I mixed/mastered this myself, so probably it could be done much better in this regard.

Winter Sun Song

My entry for Heaviocity Foundations Scoring Competition.
You can find the full video with this score at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y4f5I3kOgtQ

Per competition requirements I was using only Foundation Kontakt instruments, covered with bunch of processing plugins. 
My additional istrument is one track of Audio Imperia Cerberus drum kit.

Not long ago I heard great notion that limitations spur creativity. That was the case - having very limited palette I was completely healed from "options paralyis" and concentrated purely on making those 5 instruments work.
