'Coisa no. 0'

Tools used: Dorico, VSL Strings & Brass, Berlin Free Orchestra, East-West Hollywood Orchestra, VST (Post-processing)

This piece was written while testing out functionality of Dorico 5, a score-writing tool released by Steinberg. I was curious how much of the normal VST arrangement process could be cut short using a tool like this, and found it quite expedient to use Dorico as its 'realistic' playback got a pretty good result in combination with orchestral libraries' in-built mix positions etc. Musically, this piece was inspired by one of my favorite albums of all time - 'Coisas' by Moacir Santos - with a little bit of mid-century orchestral music thrown in. I'm still considering this a work-in-progress as the middle section needs some expansion, but I'm quite satisfied with the rhythmic/harmonic feel achieved in most of the piece.
