## This is a short, simple little tune
that I wrote the other night, which wound up turning out pretty cool.  I used only instruments from Spitfire Audio's LABS library, and kept the arrangement super simple, with only 4 tracks, though for most of the song, only the piano is used.  I think it could use a bit of editing, as Track 3 (string swell) fades out a bit awkwardly, but other than that, I really like the outcome.  We're in Eminor for most of the tune, though in the B section (Sky Blue), I substitute in an Emajor at a few points, along with an Amajor once.  I wouldn't say we actually modulate between parallel keys, as the C natural chord shows up in both sections, but I suppose one could argue that is does.

## Track 1 is the 'Soft Piano' instrument,
which is divided into the A section (Teal/Greenish) and B section (Sky Blue).  I've attached a screenshot below which shows them back to back, though in the song, they play 2x through each most of the time, aside from the very beginning and end.  Track 2 is the strings, which just use the 'Ensemble' instrument from LABS.  These stick to the cello/bass range, which add a nice bit of low end which helps that one section feel more intense than the tune around it.  Track 3 is the string swell I mentioned before, which just fades out on an E (if I edit this, I'll share the updated version).  Finally, we have Track 4, which uses the 'Dulcimer' from LABS, with some heavy reverb/delay effects from 'Raum', an awesome plug-in.
