「OVERTURE 〜信長の野望〜 」オーケストラアレンジ

I created “First Light” using only the sounds from Musio 1 — a powerful instrument packed with over 20,200 high-quality sounds, perfect for cinematic, orchestral, and creative productions. Every element in this track came straight from Musio’s vast library.

I composed this using the piano and synths from the Casio PX-S3100 Stage Piano, orchestral strings from Cinesamples Musio, and synth bass from the Behringer Model D. I was inspired to write the piece after one of my granddaughters created a chalk drawing on our sidewalk. "It's the sun setting over the water, PopPop!" Grandparent life is awesome, and a gift from God!
