I liked your mix of piano and synth, also did not know you could draw so well!

Re: Dreams of Seagulls - Fairies (epic electronic pop)
Nice atmospheric song! What soundfont/SFZ/VST did you use for the music box? I *love* it! It sounds way more realistic than the one I used in "Ballerina" at the time... The piano instead sounds maybe a bit too dry?
And yeah, nice drawing too! I may be binge-watching too many "The Americans" episodes, lately, but the girl in the picture reminded me of Keri Russell

Thinking about it, maybe it's a celesta and not a music box?

Re: Dreams of Seagulls - Fairies (epic electronic pop)
Epic indeed! I love it. The sounds are good, though somehow I think the piano could be more natural. Still, the slightly more chunky tone sits well with a more 80s vibe.
Sorry, I can't comment on your drawing abilities.

Thanks!
It is a free sound font, SoundFont 32Mb GM Stereo Set: http://ntonyx.com/sf_f.htm. The patch is called "MusicBox".
I haven't seen that one. Kajsa modelled for the fairy!

Thanks! Yeah, the piano is a bit too dry. I'll have to look into that for our next song!jeanette_c wrote: ↑Mon May 03, 2021 8:35 am Epic indeed! I love it.

Re: Dreams of Seagulls - Fairies (epic electronic pop)
Wonderful theknife-y vocal. Great composition.
What’s not to like?
Would buy this
A dash of reverb to the piano would add some lemon zest to the mix.

Re: Dreams of Seagulls - Fairies (epic electronic pop)
Thanks a lot@ambicumber!
The composition came out of a couple of notes from a Nick Drake song that leaked into my headphones from the speakers!
And yeah, I will work with the piano sounds more next time

Thanks a lot! When listening to the song a couple of days after, I felt I could have worked more with the arrangement. But I am always short on time. Happy you liked it!
