A little while back I spotted an interesting contest on Audiodraft. It was hosted by Nelonen Media. They were looking for a new sound for their brand. My suggestion did not win, but I got a chance to flex out Sample Logic's Cinematic Guitars.
The sound I went after was uplifting. I began with pads and guitar harmonics. I got some really nice and airy atmospheres created with the new guitars. But they alone would not be enough to carry the track.
So I dug out a crushed and glitched drum kit to create a driving rhythm to give the song a good momentum. I didn't want to create too elaborate of a beat so I kept it simple with just the bass drum and a fast paced glitch ticking. On top the beat I wrote passages with a massive tom ensemble.
Once these were done I turned to the orchestral elements. I used lush strings to create a melody which I doubled with french horns.
The track was kept short due to the lenght requirements in the contest, but I'm quite happy how it turned out.
