Working on The Silent Keys

I’ve got 2 variations of the same theme; one on piano and one on guitar. I used ChatGPT to throw around some ideas on expanding the progressions, but in the end I like the basic 3 chords. I made some notes for myself that I’d like to try in terms of recording, mixing, and orchestration.

Theme #1

  • pulsing, huge, bassy chord pads (need Generation Loss and Thermae)
  • start with octave Cs (two whole notes, like PF echoes) …maybe book end the piece with this?
  • piano line as main theme (could the single piano notes be glitching out? getting lost…)
  • cello line answering the main theme
  • over trem violins
