A Pivotal Moment

Thought I'd try making a prelude to one of my existing tracks - to see if I could increase the impact of it by contrasting the feeling/emotional aspects. I used the same instruments and I think they're in the same key, so I'm hoping I can segue from the prelude into the main track in a live setting without it jarring too much.

Here they are in sequential order:

eh, doesnt really do it for me. if it were me id open with the pad first, then bass, then piano. actually, the pad is pretty cool, and i think you could actually get away with just that and no piano or bass imo.

Hey Frankie, I tried taking the bass and piano out as you suggested - with just the pad it sounded just like this:

It felt like Picard was going to pipe up any second. Imagine that a gig, loads of people shouting "SPACE... THE FINAL FRONTIER!!!"

Personally I love this, especially how those high up background pads ring, meandering in the background. Very well executed and timed.

Cheers bud - it was nice to actually play something rather than pencilling in all the notes.
