Awake

I'm once again composing off the grid!
I genuinely think that this is my best piano composition yet so I hope you like it :0
Consider checking these people out aswell, they make really cool music!

I can hear this late at night, hugging myself with a warm cup of coffee, with only the blinking lights of the city coasting my periphery.
All of this' to say: the thumbnail drew me in (in my defense-it was really good cover art!) but the music made me stay. Very beautiful piece. Good job!

[@Tides16001]

Thank you so much ;D

This composition seems caught in between reverie and poignance.

I think you should be hired for composing JRPG tracks. Very well done.

[@Tides16001]

Thank you !

[@BiggMilk]

[@Tides16001]

This reminds me of Wonder, the movie version, I don't know why

[@mountainofcreation]

Nice conposition man! Coupled with the effects and thumbnail, its matches well with the tone and atmosphere. Well done!

[@Tides16001]

Thank you so much!

[@Connor-Stewart]

Definitely one of your best compositions so far! Without the tempo automation, everything just has so much emotion and realism. Beautiful stuff, man :D
Sick thumbnail, too! :)

[@Tides16001]

Thank you!
I think that trying to compose off grid was a really big step both composition wise but also to create more emotion and feel :)
I think it’s also much easier to do than tempo automation :0

[@shyvv.]

The video and production turned out great! Not even to mention the composition, this is simply amazing! Literal goosebumps. Wow. There’s so much emotion in this song it really is phenomenal!
McLovin’ these piano compositions

Damn I’ve got a long ways to go in FL Studio

[@luisrocha26]

great harmonies! very beautiful work, congrats. question: do you automate the Tempos somehow, or simple humanization of the MIDI track is enough to achieve this human feel?

[@Tides16001]

Thank you very much!
I don't use any tempo automation, I just compose off grid so I can humanize it in the process :)

[@roverclover3178]

do you manually place these notes? if so, how are you able to time everything correctly without replaying a billion timess??

[@Tides16001]

Yes I do!
Also I am not able to time everything correctly so I do have to replay a lot of times haha. It's not so bad

[@braccos4497]

What you use to put the video effect?

[@Tides16001]

I just used some color balance to turn down the saturation and then added an old film grain effect on top with "screen" as blending mode :)

piano - noire?

[@Tides16001]

Yes!!!
