FADED - Every Broken Morning (single, 2024)

“Beatley strings” was the call, so I spent Christmas Eve studying Eleanor Rigby… can I get anywhere close to George Martin? (No! But, a constant pulse, with huge melodic diagonals is something we can do….)

The solo cello echoing and evolving beneath the vocal melody is Native Instruments' Stradivari Cello, and the guitar-arpeggio locking “ostinatum” strings are c/o the Spitfire Solo Strings library.

The sparse, distant piano is the Spitfire BBC Symphony Orchestra piano, and drums are SD3 driven by v-drum midi (c/o session drummer Fergus Henderson).
