This is an ode to Joe Hisaishi.
I listened to his "Quartet" album and there is one perticular interesting piece in that album: "Lover's Rain".
I completely took over his orchestration and came up with this:
Autumn Leaves
The use of Harp, piano and strings is magical! The only difficulty lies in finding the chords and the melody. The rhythm is pretty straight forward, all whole notes. After all the chords were found I just looped it randomly again and again at different points in the score. It just happens that all those chords can follow each other in a random way, it always sounds good. So odd...
Mind you, it isn't Autumn Leafs but Autumn Leaves, meaning that winter is coming.
I think this piece is pretty nasty!! If you happen to like this, you'll like Hisaishi's album 'Quartet' too.
