"Feels Like Home" - Original Composition by insaneintherainmusic

Even though staying at home all the time is getting kind of old, I still love the comfiness of a familiar place!

At some point, the idea of having original music on the insaneintherainmusic channel won't be so gimmicky and surprising, and that's a good thing! It means I'm moving forward and developing as a composer in my own right! This song is about home - it's nice it is to have a place to call home and be able to relax there, especially due to all the time I've been spending holed up at home lately! I came up with this melody while noodling around on the piano, and thought it would be a nice fit for a simple town theme-type tune. I really really love sweeping, simple, singable melodies, and I think this one of the better melodies I've come up with in that style! This music makes me think of places like Snowbelle City form Pokémon X & Y and Flamesgrace from Octopath Traveler, snowy places with a warm and cozy vibe! I think the snowy part is due to the sleigh bells in the arrangement, haha, it could probably suit another less-snowy location without the sleigh bells. This piece was composed to loop, and I think the loop turned out really well! The video goes through the loop just over two times, but with a different solo each time. This is something I'd love to experiment more with - using dynamic audio to include solos as part of game music! One of my ideas is use solo takes as a way to further introduce variation on a piece of area music that might get boring if it loops to many times, or use them to signal some important change to the player... I haven't thought about it quite that much yet, haha. I think this is my first time playing flugelhorn on a video for this channel! I don't play brass much, and I've still got a lot to learn, but flugel is probably my favorite brass instrument to play. It has such a warm sound, and is such a wonderful melody instrument! Full disclosure, this particular flugelhorn part you hear is the result of comping of a LOT of takes and some generous Melodyne, haha, I'm nowhere near good enough to track stuff like this on the first take as a soloist. I also tried a couple of new recordings techniques in this video, including using my AEA N8 as a bottom mic for the piano. I'm using a stereo pair of AT4040's on the soundboard and the strings, but adding a ribbon mic beneath the piano really helps warm the sound up, and add fullness! Probably wouldn't need it for a funk context or any other bright-sounding situation, but for an exposed classical-ish context like this, it works really really well. This is also my first time using Spitfire Chamber Strings in a video! I picked up this library recently as an upgrade over my previous Vienna Strings, which I wasn't very happy with personally, and I'm really pleased with how they sounded ♫ "Feels Like Home" composed by Carlos Eiene Mix and Edit by me!
