Everest

Liner Notes
Headphones recommended....
I've been trying to make this song all of FAWM, and it has finally come out. My "Everest", the unclimbable mountain. This could be my peak FAWM....I hate saying "I love my own song"....but this one makes me smile very much.
I think one of my favourite things to do is mix synth with orchestra, which is how this was born. A complete mix of virtual stuff and my Fantom. It has taken a lot of practice with my workflow and gear (yes, "practice" @dragondreams 😄 ) to get this close to being right.
This gradually grows to a wall of sound, which I was trying to rein in....but I didn't!
Used to make this song: Reaper DAW and Roland Fantom 08, Native Instruments Maschine Mikro MK3 & M32 midi keyboard....i.e. all my gear! Fantom saw lead, orchestra, synth lead Native Instruments Conflux, Butch Vig Drums, Ashlight, Symphony Series Strings/woods/brass, Fables, Super 8 synth BBCSO horns Stone Voices Ambient Reverb Ozone 11

Sometimes it takes time to get up that mountain, and this one goes to epic heights!!! Love the pacing and build up early on. The dip back down and the crickety sounds really adds tension. The horn swells behind the lead synth are amazing. I'm very glad you didn't tame the wall of sound, it is glorious. This made me smile as well!
