Since I finished working on my last album, R U There?, a lot has changed. I decided to pretty much revamp my whole music production approach, as I bought a used Kemper for my guitars and bass, switched my drum library to Tchimera, and most importantly decided to finally give a try to MuseScore 4 and its Muse Sounds, to see if it would be a viable replacement for my virtual orchestration workflow.
These where a lot of changes, which is why it’s been taking so long for me to work on new music, but “Luminaires” is the first piece I wanted to share. It’s a reflections of all the changes I mentioned, except for guitars: while I originally wanted some guitars to be there, eventually it felt like they would be out of place, and so I left them out, leaving a more orchestral piece from beginning to end. In a future revision this may change, but for now I’m happy about as it is.
“Luminaires” also is an appetizer from an upcoming album I’m working on, “Loser”. But slow as I’ve been, lately, who knows when I’ll be able to finish it ![]()
You can listen to the new song on my Faircamp:
but if you like it and you’re feeling generous, it can be found on Bandcamp and Mirlo too.
As usual, all mixed and mastered with Ardour 9.2.0!
