Here's The Thing - a Chapperz original

I've come over all chamber orchestra!

Excellent stuff, so well produced and inventive too!Sounds like it should be on the sound track of a movie.

Glad You like it SE!

This arrangement came about almost by accident..

I updated my DAW to Studio One 4 Pro during the Black Friday madness and then got tempted by a really good offer on Presonus Notion 6 notation software. I can read music a bit and thought it would be useful to aid my memory.  I often start a piece of music and then park it while I do something else - then when I come back to it I have to spend time trying to work out what I played. Probably an age thing.  So I bought Notion for about £21 and exported a few midi tracks from a more usual synth piece I had knocked up in Studio one to Notion and it worked.  I could print out a few bars of the song for future memory jogging use.  I was just about to shut Notion down but pressed "play" first.  The midi/notation played back in a default piano mode and I really liked it.  So I did this arrangement and I prefer it to the original.  You can export midi back from Notion to Studio One but I didnt bother - I just started again.

The piano is an Arturia Vcollection American grand piano, and loads of tracks of orchestral Presence XT instruments and a bit of Yamaha Motif XT for the harp stuff.

I might put the original synth track up if anyone is vaguely interested.

Oh yes, this is a very interesting piece - lots of cool little details throughout.

Would also like to hear the synth version, if you're up for posting it.
