FAWM: "Searching"

Searching

Liner Notes

One of my friends has always been searching in life. Searching what she wanted to do, what she wanted to be good at, what job would suit her, who her friends are, etc. I tried to express the feeling of searching and not knowing in this song by using slightly erratic drums, unusual chords, a bit of a nervous #bassoon melody and some quintuplets in the melodies of the bassoon and viola. The #modulations represent her attempts to try different things in life.

#instrumental #soundtrack #strings with a hint of #ambient

Edit: I was thinking of shortening the song by just ending at 3:33 when the trumpet stops, or stopping at 3:40 having 1 final chord, or keeping it as is with the longer ending. Opinions? :)

This has a vastness to the start. The light touch on the cymbals provides an openness - I was really here for the bassoon though - not something you see used often. Some great production.

You definitely captured a searching, seeking vibe. This is very cinematic and epic. I made me see someone in a big castle and opening different doors to different realities, the way it morphs and surprises. It feels like it wants to be longer. Well done.
