[LAU] [MUSIC] Synth Prelude n. 1

[Lorenzo Sutton]

A prelude for synth. Although a relatively short piece this took way
longer to finish than I had expected.

Made with Yoshimi and Rosegarden.

As usual thanks to all the developers of these two music applications
which I like so much for their work and dedication :)

Hope you enjoy.

Lorenzo.

Hi Lorenzo,
I like this piece a lot! At first I thought it might be a little too
minimalist, but then I found that it just took its time. It's a
beautiful arrangement, very nice sounds. Will that prelude get a fugue
or can we be waiting for prelude no.2?

Thanks for sharing!

Best wishes,

Jeanette

Thanks for your kind comments. Regarding fugues, although 'a bit of
augmentation is a serious temptation' (cit.) I think I'll concentrate on
starting and eventually (eventually!) finishing a number 2 :)

Really enjoyed this. Lovely dynamic performance. I'm not surprised it took
longer than you expected - I'd still be struggling with the introduction :o

Were the instrument patches your own, or from stock banks?

Thanks for your feedback, glad you enjoyed it!
I used stock bank instruments, with several adjustments in terms of
effects, envelopes, volume, pan, velocity sensitivity settings etc.
Certain attack times took really lots of fiddling to be how I wanted
them... In some cases the tweaking is really minor.
For the 'tubular bell' sound I actually started from a ZynAddSubFX
patch, but it was producing some weird 'noise', so I essentially
re-built it.

By the way the piece is CC-NC-SA licensed so I'd be happy to also share
both the Yoshimi state file and the Rosegarden file if anyone is interested.

Lorenzo.
