Just a chill-out tune
Posted: Thu Aug 23, 2018 5:22 pm
The early 1990s was a time I composed quite a lot of music using just a Yamaha SY22 and a Roland Sound Canvas. This was a great combination in it's time, but I soon realised many of the emulation samples were rather poor.
Fast forward to the early 2000s and I was starting to use sound samples available on Linux, and converted many of my tunes to these. However, certain instrument combinations still didn't sound right - particularly flute sounds, which tended to sound rather harsh, and didn't work together well.
Only comparatively recently I worked out how to get much better results, and this tune really shows this with the section starting around the 2 minute mark. I still haven't got it quite right, but think it's 'good enough' for the tune.
So, please take a listen to Sad Angel
