Sands Of Arabia

about

This was a strange beast. It's been brewing for a few days, in fact - I started it before The Cost Of Solace (fawm.org/songs/107833/). I didn't quite know where it was going until later today (February 24, 2020) when I decided to add a piano. I have to say, that piano melody is probably my favourite thing I've written during FAWM this year.

Even in the approach, this was a beast. I used pretty much only VSTi's (except for CyanPhase's Bass Pluck for the Bass - it's a native Buzz Machine). HG Fortune of course makes a big showing (ProtoPlasm; STS-33 & The Tiger) as well as DSK The Grand for the piano part. Some composing, mixing & recording later, I offer this.

One last thing to admit: I came up with the tittle after playing around with HG Fortune's ProtoPlasm in the early stages of composing this. It didn't really turn out with an Arabic feel (to my ears), but I like the evocative image the tittle offers, so I kept it. Perhaps this is a Western interpretation of the Arabian Deserts…

See You In The Shadows…
