rinse cycle

This Track was written after the release of "Global Swarm", and features mostly sounds from "Global Swarm" with some small "underpainting" from Spitfire Audio - Orchestral Swarm and Chamber Evolutions.

This was my first time ever contributing to a Sample Library, even if it was just a few notes, and I just love this project and this community, so I had to write a little piece showcasing it. 

You can download Global Swarm for free here: https://www.pianobook.co.uk/packs/global-swarm/
And while you are at it, check out the other amazing free sample packs there.
