Hi to all,
it's my first post in this forum.

I would like to show you Varenna Suite, a piece I wrote a few years ago.

I wrote a text adventure game called Silk Dust running on many 8 and 16-bit machines and I wanted to provide not really a soundtrack that would be synchronized with it, but a series of pieces that would help set the mood. Imagine playing Silk Dust on a Sinclair ZX Spectrum or a Commodore 64 and listening to the music from a cassette player 🙃

Varenna Suite was composed by stitching together the themes that I wrote for certain parts of the game that took place in Varenna, on the shore of the Como lake, in Italy. Hence the different themes present in the suite.

I used Logic Pro and the orchestral sounds are the Spitfire Audio's BBC Symphony Orchestra Discover.

I also prepared the score, although looking at it again now, I have noticed a few minor typos.

I write electronic and orchestral music, so any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
