Here is a short little piece I wrote, hope you enjoy
Feedback is always appreciated and thank you for listening.You don't say whether you want feedback ... but here goes. I would mention two things: (i) the instrumentation is a bit in-your-face which is a little jarring for impressionism, and (ii) the piece is quite short and the nice motives you have in cello & bassoon could be developed to extend it. Cheers.
My secret sauce is Orchestral Tools - Berlin Strings EXP E. They recorded measured trills, so no legato script going on at all. They sound amazing in certain settings, I would not want to miss this precious little patch.Hey man, I love the way the stings can oscillate back and forth between two notes like that without sounding synthetic! What library is that? Is it RR legato? Cheers
Instrumentation = your instruments playing. Upon listening again, 'jarring' might be too strong a word. The attached YouTube (and many others) could be used as a reference for the type of orchestration and recorded sound to aspire to for impressionism .. if that is what you are going for.Can you further explain what you mean with the Instrumentation? I think I could have done a better job in handling the dynamics, achieving a rounder timbre. But maybe there is just too much of Stravinsky in me. Where would you start to tweak?

By in-your-face, I mean the instruments sound nearby (close mic) in spots, as if the listener were sitting on stage. Cheers.
Hej Nils,
Thanks for sharing. I enjoyed the track. The vibe is nice and the orchestration has some nice moments. What I miss a little bit is that "theme" and a structural component. It sounds a bit unfinished. You seem to like Debussy which is good, I think of La Mer a bit when listening to your piece. Probably you intend it as longer suite? So its very short and thematic presentation takes a way longer approach in longer suites but there is that thing..that one minute..just makes me wonder if that is what you end up doing with your creativity or presenting an introduction of what will come eventually? Its not clear. In isolation..it leaves me with that questions so far.
