Philip. Nicely done on this track. You’ve really nailed the stylistic requirements from the brief. If this track came in for the library we’d most likely ask for the first section to be thinned out just a bit as sonically, you sort of jump the intensity way up right from the get go. That said, you settled into a fairly low intensity groove right after that so what you’re doing really does work well.  My only real note throughout is that your (hi-hat?) material seems to be quite out front without the verb that permeates the majority of textures in the track so that element pops out a bit in the mix. I rally like the breakdown contrasts in section 3, with the builds and the breaks. Those are useful from an editorial perspective. Overall all really well done. Thank you for participating.

At the Cannes Film Festival 2016 I was invited to a small gathering at the Village International. Somebody gave me a glass of champagne and with this in my hand I felt confident enough to say hello to the famous film composer Atli Örvarsson. 

My first thought was ‚I didn’t know Atli is that young‘. After we have talked for a minute or so he said to me ‚I think what you just mentioned is how Atli Örvarsson approaches projects.‘ - For a second I thought he was talkin about himself in third person. But then I realized I actually wasn’t talking to Atli. Well I just knew I was talking to some composer from Iceland. And to hide how confused and embarrassed I was I just asked ‚Um I have to talk to somebody else. Are you on facebook?‘. This was when I learned I was talking to Ólafur Arnalds all the time. And I learned what a great composer he is (how was it possible I haven’t heard anything about him before??). 

Now with the new sample library OLAFUR ARNALDS CHAMBER EVOLUTIONS by Spitfire in my hands I thought I may share this story and dedicate a short instrumental song to it ;-) The song is called ‚How I met Ólafur Arnalds and thought he was Atli Örvarsson‘. Enjoy.
