it's starting to look like this chamber works thing is something i'm going to actually do. i'll take hits on pretension for it, but it's starting to shape up as something worthwhile.

i mean, the strings are 100% synthesized. but they sound good enough to compile a record out of them. i've heard plenty of synthesizer-based classical music, but never anything like this; in a sense, it's just taking it to the next level. it may actually be relatively normal in the upcoming years.

for some of it, yeah, i'd rather find an actual string orchestra (there's more than four parts for most of it). if you're aware of one willing to work for a thumbs up, let me know.

i bought a cheap starter electric violin years ago, but never taught myself to play it. it doesn't help for the low parts. and, as i said, it actually sounds pretty good...

i have a tendency to predict upcoming musical trends. it may, in the end, be just another example of my inadvertent tendency towards incredible foresight.
