The beginnings of an experiment to use my expressive synthesized strings, using my Surge XT patches for all instruments.

Because this is a work-in-progress, this track might not be here for long, and I've likely improved on it already ;)

I used a public MIDI file, but I'll be rearranging it, because this seems squashed into four soloist parts. It would benefit from a more thorough voicing.

Sound design, arrangement, articulations (not much), and mix by me. Sound Noodles are snippets of experimental sound design or techniques.

Our attacks come out the strongest when in a state of heightened emotion -
it is unsurprising therefor, that a song about anger and seeking revenge became popular in the playlists of squids and octopi alike.

There is no painting without pain.
