Re: [newmellotrongroup] The Dying Day.

Thanks, I like the effect of mixing synth string sounds with mellotron. I think Woolly did quite a lot of this in his later years.

It is a quite sad piece, seemed to fit with mood of Anzac day in New Zealand. Although I am quite a happy person any music I do is always miserable!

Thanks. This is a bit embarrassing, I am not certain of the chords as it was a live improvisation. I think it started in e minor and it's mainly a mixture of descending 5ths and 4ths, it wanders around in F for a bit then ends in C. The sound is a mixture of the Mark II violins from Redtron and the tremolo strings preset from the Synth 1 VST. I recorded it using Reaper and added some extra reverb in Audacity.

Very sweet. The opening chord and sound reminds me of In the wake of Poseidon...what are they?
