In this composition I was inspired by the piece “River Flows In You”, it was a piece composed by Yiruma, he was a very talented pianist and a composer as well. His songs were haunting in a way and could make you feel as though you are fallen into a deep story within the song itself, though it does not have any lyrics to it but you can feel the immerse emotions filled in the piece.

I started off by using the same chords that “River Flows In You” has used, with that I slowly filled in the melody. I used Sybellius to composed my piece in the beginning, after which I used Garage Band to add in effects and instruments to bring in colors the piece. 

The instruments used were Piano, Strings Ensemble and vocals. I added reverbs to make it sound more dreamy.

Broken ways

The track is composed by 3 person, Joan, bay and I (Nicole). 

Joan did the chords part, Bay covered the violin part and I came up with the melody. 

It was a random play on the midi when Joan came up with a smoothing chord where it started us, ideas came into our head and we sat down and recorded. Using a midi input and the program we used is Garage Band.
