I went out and bought a new preamp today, as the last one I bought mysteriously quit working. I also installed some new music software to stimulate the creative process.
I started with a cello, which I'm borrowing from a good friend. There are a few cello lines going here, most prominently the ostinado, and later bowed.

Next was accordion, although I've edited a lot of it out.

Next were a cloud of strings, passing over our little landscape.
Another layer of cello picking run through fun.

Two vocal parts, edited down to their necessities.

Trombones.

And a rare addition: percussion.

I've worked pretty much the whole day on this, and I'm quite pleased. I've cheated and had it fade out, since I'm not really done yet.

New
