Hello, new Talking Time! I'm Cadenza and I make music sometimes! Here is a sampling of the things I have written in the past year or so:
Fields of Wind - A drone piece made (almost) entirely with the Mellotron flute.
Shrine of the Sea God - The very first song I uploaded to my Soundcloud account. It's a chiptune! I want to start writing more of those but I haven't found the time to do it yet.
Castlevania Chronicles - Etude for the Killer - One of two string quartet arrangements of Castlevania tunes I've made. I do intend to make more at some point, but the MuseScore midi doesn't sound very good which is slightly discouraging.
Stratus - The first piece of ambient music I ever wrote, made about a year-and-a-half ago during a rough period in my life. I discovered while making this track that I really enjoy writing music like this, so I've been doing that off-and-on ever since.
Arpeggiated Patterns for 3 MIDI Pianos - Pretty much exactly what the title implies. Kinda made this just to have something relatively recent on my account after a few months of inactivity, but you might enjoy it!
Final Fantasy IX - The Place I'll Return to Someday - The title screen theme from FFIX arranged for Mellotron trio.
Mellotriptych - A group of three related pieces that all use the same group of notes in different ways.
As you could probably guess from the above, I love the Mellotron a whole lot and use it in almost everything I write. I don't actually own a real instrument (which is a.) no longer manufactured and b.) rare/hard to find and expensive), or the digital recreation (which is, again, prohibitively expensive); instead I use a plugin pack for Ableton Live called Microtron, which attempts to recreate the sound of the original M400 model as accurately as possible (up to and including the eight-second limit for playing a given note).
If any of the above interests you and you want to hear more, you can find everything else I've put up on Soundcloud either on a track-by-track basis or in these convenient playlists. I hope you enjoy my tunes, and thanks for listening!
