Nightwish - Sleeping Sun (instrumental cover) by Martin Williams

This symphonic metal ballad from 1999 remains a classic of singer Tarja's time with Nightwish and is a regular fixture on the band's live shows to this day. The slower pace of this song gave me the idea to expand upon my previous guitar based covers to produce a full band instrumental track. This involved me playing a keyboard for the first time in over 30 years plus my first ever go at programming MIDI software instruments - synth, drums and choir. As such it took me 2 months to complete!
I learned so much by pushing my production skills and I hope you enjoy the result!
