Watching From the Moon
An Orchestral Ambient Piece
from David P. Crews
(18:56)

Comprised of three discrete but contiguous sections:
00:00 • Hidden, yet Seen
09:00 • One Point Six Gigahertz Data Transmission
14:30 • Lunar Presence

This ambient, minimalist piece is the result of an interesting experiment I’ve been wanting to conduct for a while. I’ve recently been working in traditional composition with virtual orchestra, using some of the newer dynamic sample sets like the BBC Symphony Orchestra from Spitfire Audio in London. I thought it would be interesting to employ some of these traditional instrument sounds or timbres of the standard orchestra (strings, woodwinds, brass, etc.) to create an ambient piece where the sounds are stretched and layered in a manner that would not be done or perhaps possible in real-life.

To keep it minimalist and non-melodic is a challenge using such normally yang timbres of the modern orchestra. I think it worked, but it definitely went in a few unexpected creative directions along the way, which means it was fun to do!

So, for this 19 minute piece, I created these rich and entraining orchestral collages while also integrating more typical electronica sounds into the matrix. Sit back and let it flow over you!
