about

This version is perhaps the biggest change from the original. Someone listened to the original and said the sounds weren't strong enough, they needed to be more "real". Immediately I thought I needed to re-make this as an "orchestral" piece.

I won't pretend to know much about orchestral instruments but I used the Orkestra bank that comes with Reason and swapped sounds about. I worried about the sound effects in the original, dropping them entirely left the piece sounding unfinished but at the same time if it was "real" sounds I couldn't use the synthy noises so I put the flyer in a tropical garden, used a Kettle Drum for the riser and the other noises came back as a Piccolo line which really perks the piece up. Only the Piano line refused to become another instrument entirely.

I like this version as I think it shows off the notes I wrote well whilst adding something of value.
