Selwyn Corner

Selwyn Corner
(The name doesn't mean anything. I just like the way it sounds.)

I resurrected this piece from Sonar and finished it in Reaper. I'm liking Reaper a lot.

I was trying for a string quartet, but that didn't work out.
So this is kind of a classical piece with violin, flute and a harp-like instrument.
The harp part is ok, but could be better.
Thanks for listening.

    It's a nice composition. Good melodies. I like the different passages in it. I wish the violin wasn't so artificial sounding, but overall it's a good piece.

    Shame you can tell it's a sampled violin but that aside it is a really nice simple and elegant tune. Nice job Bjorn.

    Leadfoot, Adrian
    Thanks for the comments.  I don't know though, I really like that violin. I didn't get the dynamics down very well and maybe that's part of the problem?
    It does sound a little different on Soundcloud but not that much.  Anyway, this was a shot at doing exploring another genre and was kind of fun.

    Bjorn,
     
    This is a nice gentle, folksy tune.  I think perhaps the problem that the other two mentioned was that the vibrato sounds a little two mechanical?  The songs decent regardless. :D:D

    That is beautiful.  Well balanced and produced.  I liked the in and out from minor to major.  Really pleasing to the ear.

    I like it! Sounds like the background to a Hallmark movie.
