spillover

I used MuseScore and Logic Pro (using the Spitfire Audio LABS and BBC Symphony Orchestra plugins, as well as the Rain Maker VST) in composing this piece.

I wanted to compose a piece that was reminiscent of the turbulence and tumultuous nature of a waterfall after a heavy rainstorm, while simultaneously evoking feelings of nostalgia or melancholy. Writing this piece was an outlet for me as I finished my finals at college, since I’m about to graduate and am facing great uncertainty in my personal life. I chose the instruments - piano and clarinet - because I thought that the eighth notes in the piano nicely simulated flowing and tumbling rapids or waves, while the clarinet complimented the atmosphere of the piece and the theme of water, appearing rather calm on the surface but conveying a certain depth of emotion beneath that. I would imagine this piece to be the theme song for either a scenic game that conveys an epic emotional journey or obstacle that the protagonist has to overcome, or for a movie soundtrack about a similar theme.
