I wanted to make a piece in memory of one of the greatest electronic musicians who passed away last year: Vangelis. Particularly the initial pad, made with the FM-X engine of the Yamaha MODX6, is reminiscent of his sounds even though his pads were known for subtractive (e.g. CS-80) rather than Frequency Modulation (FM) synthesis.
As the composition progressed, the music began to guide me away from my initial direction with some melodies following even baroque elements. The fusion of repeating patterns, evolving pads from the Yamaha MODX and Roland JD-08, complemented by sampled orchestral and choir sounds, gave birth to the song's title.
I hope you like it.
