'Tundra Atmos Test' - New Original Music - Testing Out a New Spitfire Audio LABS' Instrument - Electronic/Instrumental + Walkthrough

This was an attempt to use

some of the new instruments that Spitfire Audio recently released for their LABS series, including a music box, the 'Tundra Atmos' set (a bunch of spacey, ambient sounds), and a few others scattered throughout. I also used some of the packs I already had, including the drums (just for a kick, heavily effected), along with some Strobe2 synths. There are also some percussive sounds from the Tundra Atmos set, called 'forest sticks' which I heavily effected with reverb and echo to provide the rhythm that we begin the song with, which continues in the background for the entire song. I don't really consider this a complete song, but I like the general idea, and I really dig a lot of these new sounds, so I'll be using in the future for sure.

Track 2 was where I first outlined

the chords, which are divided into 2 sections, Green and White. In the Green section, we start on Dmin, move to Bb, then Gmin and back to Bb before repeating. In the White, we start on Fmaj, to Bb again, then to a C, and back to Bb. All the tracks that are built on top of these continue to accent these same changes, with some providing little arpeggiated lines, like the music box and the synths from the Strobe2 library. I'm not going to go through each track individually, as its a little hard to describe the timbre of each synth, but you'll hear them layered together throughout the song.
