Like most of my recent music, this was composed for a role play I'm in, though I would love to incorporate it elsewhere. In the role play Eleftheria is an ancient and forgotten city of the dragon race, so I was going for a mystical feeling when composing this. What makes this song particularly unique is the beat heard at the beginning that picks up further as the song progresses; it's actually Sytrus' Grand Piano on the highest note on the fl piano roll. The other bell like sounds are that same piano played slightly lower above and below c 10 of the piano roll. The deeper beat is a pizzi from Vienna, as are the strings spare for the default str_ensemble; I found the sound they made to be rather soothing. Lastly I used a harp from Sakura to give it more emotion and compliment the piano. Overall I'm quite pleased with how the song came out, catching exactly what I wanted portrayed.
