-I listened to the last version and found it really stiff and robotic so I went back in decided to make it come to greater life like someone was playing the piano for a big choir in a dream that was part bad due to unsettling feelings, but also had good scenery and artistic sensibilities.
-I added a piano that I played live a long with the song and then used my piano production treatment trick. I think I invented it on this song actually.
-I also played a musette that is stored on my Juno. It’s low and has rough texture and I like it.
-I also played a Biotek, which is a synthesizer plug in I got for free somehow. It makes pitched ambient sounds that repeat in time with whatever your BPM is.
-Finally I added a whole bunch of doubles and harmonies to create a choir effect.

-I probably went a bit overboard in my artistic additions but I believe it’s in the right direction. The song is now more interesting to listen to. I just need some help making choices so it sits in the garden with the rest of the songs in this volume, and also has a natural and graceful narrative arc in terms of its own arrangement.
