My latest work. An 80's inspired synth-rock piece with an epic spacey vibe while being a bit nostalgic.

Instruments and techniques:

1. The drums are a combination of samples from TR-707 and 505 drum machines.
2. The provided chord progression was used for the piano arrangement. The whole song was built around it. The main piano part is the SampleScience "Cinematic Piano" library. The chords and melody are separate instances processed differently. The chords are slightly EQed and compressed and the melody has a very strong modulation effect on it."Room Piano" used for the bass notes. Additionally, "Drone Piano" is a reversed and looped piano library that is playing the same chords as the main part, creating a sort of a synth-like pad.
3. The electric guitars are MusicLab's "RealLPC". Two instances for the rhythm and one for the solo. Processed with "TH-U" guitar suite, a typical 80's mid-gain guitar sound;
4. The main lead synthesizer is "Repro-5". A simple unison lead with glide;
5. "Dexed" is used for the bass part, synth-arp and SFX;
6. "PG-8X" is used for the bright synth-keys layered with piano chords;
7. FL Studio "FLEX" playing the sounds from the general MIDI library is used for the synth-choir and brass chords layered with the piano chords;
8. Some of the sounds from "Ocean Swift - Sounds Of Life" free sample library were used to create transition effects;
9. BPB "Dirty VHS" is a lo-fi effect switching on and off in some sections of the song (mainly in the breakdowns).
