{Nocturne} 800 trillion miles from home

Music > Solo instrument

This is a melancholic, instrumental song in a nocturne style that uses a custom futuristic piano-like instrument operating created using the Vital VST.
It is an ambient track with two main stages. The volume and rhythm remains relatively constant throughout (as a Nocturne would), but the sound becomes more complex on the second stage.

The mood is reminiscent of a cross between Moonlight (Beethoven) and Claire de Lune (Debussy). It has a variable tempo and shifts from mysterious to melancholic and back.

No AI of any kind was used in the creation of this track.
I do not use AI tools in sound development or software development as it steals from the hard work of artists like us.

Creation details:
DAW: FL Studio 2024 (Via Linux x64)
VST: Vital, operating a custom 'Verdish Keys' preset I created specifically for the FP-80.
There are no other effects or filters. DM me if you want to inquire about using the preset.
Hardware: Roland FP-80 w/ DP-10 sustain, listened with AKG k712 Pro studio monitors.
Project: Ember's Sonata

See me on Soundcloud for more of my music.

This is one of the tracks designed for sci-fi shooter I am working on [working title: Ember's Sonata].
The majority of the game's music is not a soundtrack, but is composed of standalone singles that are designed for the game.

I have chosen to release this particular track on FreeSound under Attribution 4.0 as a resource.
It is a useful tune that does not contain any specific character's motifs. I hope you like it.

Nice melancholic sound. I'm using it to depict not distance in miles, but distance in time.
