"That's one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind." In my view, the soundtrack is the driving force behind this film. It features ethereal sounds and memorable themes, anchored by emotive harp passages that beautifully underscore the intimate moments involving the Armstrongs.

I crafted this mock-up to deepen my understanding of the harp's role within orchestration and how it functions as well as to refine my ear for musical nuances.

==============================
🎹 ORCHESTRAL PROGRAMMING
Orchestral programming is the art of creating lifelike orchestral music using virtual instruments on a computer. It involves meticulously layering and shaping each instrument's part—such as strings, brass, woodwinds, and percussion—to sound as if a live orchestra is performing. Through detailed control over dynamics, articulations, and timing, composers can evoke the depth and expressiveness of a real orchestra. My goal is to produce music that captures the full emotional and sonic range of live orchestration, allowing me to bring my visions to life with just a keyboard and a keen musical ear.

Justin Hurwitz - Armstrong Cabin  (Orchestral Mockup)

1ère Gymnopédie.

Live video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zZd4BYOzXBo

Lent et douloureux.
Slow and sorrowful.

"Oblique et coupant l'ombre un torrent éclatant; Ruisselait en flots d'or sur la dalle polie; Où les atomes d'ambre au feu se miroitant; Mêlaient leur sarabande à la gymnopédie."

"Slanting and shadow-cutting a flickering eddy
Trickled in gusts of gold to the shiny flagstone
Where the atoms of amber in the fire mirroring themselves
Mingled their sarabande to the gymnopaedia"

- Contamine de Latour

The instrument is a Clavia Nord Stage 2 using a sampled Yamaha C7 with a generous amount of reverb and phaser, and a thin layer of strings.

Erik Satie - Gymnopédie No. 1 [phaser]

"Transitions II" is the second chapter of the "Transitions" trilogy concept which began with the previous EP, back in November 2019. 
All these songs, mostly around 1 minute and half of length, are part of the "piano microstores" project, which has been developed last year on my IG profile consisting in releasing one short piano story per day during all the summer season.
