This is a submission I (Alan) wrote for a movie. The description said "This musical director is looking for an instrumental music bed, atmospheric, melancholy, lots of strings, a deep bottom and a very limited lead track(s). Must be strong and powerful."

This is what I came up with. Hope you enjoy it.

Key=C , Tempo 63, Length (m:s)=3:48
8 bar intro, 24 bar chorus, from bar 9 to bar 32. Repeat x2 choruses
Melody has 119 notes, Melody harmony is < no harmony >(0)
Soloist track has 736 notes, Soloist harmony is < no harmony >(0)
Song is saved with Volume, Pan, Reverb, Chorus, Bank0,
Song is saved with bar changes for Volume Changes,
Style is _ATMSPH3.STY (Atmosphere Chillout)
SoloistCustom Synth is Hi-Q 050 01 Strings, Ensemble, Movie SampleTank.tgs

RealTracks in style: 1536:Bass, Electric, PopBelieve Ev16 065
RealTracks in style: 2542:Pedal Steel, Background ModernBalladAtmosphere Ev16 065
RealTracks in style: 1543:Synth Pad, PopBelieve Ev16 065
RealTracks in song: 2338:Violin, Background, PopLow Ev 085 (1TrackStringSection)
RealTracks in song: 2335:String Quartet, Rhythm PopHall Ev 085
RealDrums in Song: RetroPop^01-a:Bass, HiHat, b:Bass, Snare

I added the violin, string quartet and chillout tracks to the tracks that were provided with the style.

I think remember that the RT "2542:Pedal Steel, Background ModernBalladAtmosphere" is among the brand new tracks of PGM. I didn't see what to do with, until I heard your piece of music. Now it is very clear.
A so cool atmosphere emanates from it !

Hi Al,

We really think you succeeded in reflecting what the musical director meant.
We can imagine lots of movie images to go with this music.

Hi Floyd ...

Thank you so much. This one took a while to put together. Good to be here when I can. The chemo is keeping my very tired and sleepy all the time. I also have a lot of trouble concentrating. I'm slowly trying to get back in the groove.

Wishing you well ...

Alan
