Traversing the Galaxy on Borrowed Transportation

Another brooding piano piece with a wide, spacious soundscape.

This is a piece created with LFE (Lisp Flavoured Erlang) using two libraries, one for music theory and the other for converting abstract scales to actual notes as played by a sampled piano. It was actually created as a demo for new (very basic) features that have landed recently.

The progression is as follows: i, ii, V, i, IV, i, ii, V, i, V (Cm, D dim, G, Cm, F, Cm, D dim, G, Cm, G)

Software used:
* Erlang 24 + LFE 2.0
* undertheory, undermidi, midilib
* VI Labs True Keys sampled piano (German)
* Studio One + Analog Delay, Valhalla Room, UAD Capitol Chambers

Billie Eilish - Chihiro (ODNP Remix)

The Space Explorer sound set is based on the inspiring HG Fortune sample set and picks up the thread of the Alien Vanguard sound sets. It is dedicated to the beauty of the universe and provides numerous warm and dreamy pads, catching atmospheres, cool deep space effects, driving arpeggios, analog leads, and more.
