"This Is The Way" : FAWM

This Is The Way

1 week ago by @esc4p3

Liner Notes

Ok, so because I was out all day yesterday, here is the first track. I am not around for the whole of this 5/9, so I'll do as many as I can fit in.

Part of this melody came out of watching a video by Pianote, who I am a great fan of for learning piano. Although the tutorial video was piano only, I've added some layers to make it a bit more cinematic. I haven't watched it yet, but I'm really looking forward to watching the new Mandalorian & Grogu movie and maybe you might hear this kind of music in that kind of movie. I'd like to think so haha!

Used to make this track: Reaper DAW Native Instruments Bazzazian Tapes synth, Choir Omnia, Alicia Keys piano, Ozone 11 for mixing Orchestral Tools Berlin Free Orchestra BBC Symphony Orchestra Horns, Flute, Basses, Timpani, Glockenspeil

I like how you've started out with that backing chorus -- the piano melody is like the stars being placed. Yes, it's definitely cinematic and rich! I like those big booms/crashes that come in later in the track, too. Nicely composed.

This sounds so massive, lovin it! The glockenspeil was a perfect touch. This truly is the way, awesome stuff!

@aeyeTEAM 5d

This sounds fantastic. Huge in my headphones ( also isn't Bazzazian tapes a fun library?!)

@beep_blop 6d

Love how it slowly gain that drama/intensity and then "discharge" with flute

@nahlej381 6d

Sounds great! So very cinematic. Great arrangement and so clean!

@headfirstonlyTEAM 6d

This is very definitely deserving of the description "lush" and those french horns are really hitting the spot. I really must use Bazzazian Tapes more; it's got some great sounds, hasn't it?

@esc4p3 6d

Yes, I love the sounds....It's the first time I've used Bazzazian tapes! The hardest thing was working out how to spell his name correctly 😁

@coolparadisoTEAM 6d

That is epic! all class, could so easily be theme music to some of the shows i have watched recently! well done

@paul_pedersen 6d

I really like the pace of this piece, Carl as well as the continually changing landscape of orchestral instruments. I worked for a symphony orchestra for the last seven years of my career, so I was imagining seeing my favourite conductor leading the musicians as I sat in the hall.

@chrisgray 6d

Really enjoyed this -- esp. love the juxtaposition of the choir and brass/deep drums/flutes into the glockenspeil? at the end. Very rich, consistently interesting music.

@gm7 6d

Well done Carl. I love what you added to the original piano track. Very mournful and reflective music.

@chill4matt 1w

Beautiful work, Carl. This kind of track could definitely be in the movie! This is right up my alley in terms of adventure.

@sbs 1w

We started watching that movie last night. Didn’t get very far because we were so tired but will try to watch a bit more tonight. I will have my ears peeled - lol! But, yeah, this is very cinematic. So cool!
