'Hellocello' - New Original Music - 10 Minute Timed Writing Challenge, Using Spitfire Audio's LABS Cello Pack

So I went for a quick little

timed challenge last night, but decided to limit myself to only using sounds from the 'Amplified Cello Quartet' pack, which is free to download and part of Spitfire Audio's LABS series. If you write/compose/produce, I highly recommend downloading LABS, the whole thing is free, and there are LOADS of instruments available. Check it out here. There is a single track at the end that is not from LABS, which I included a screenshot of below; it uses one of the orchestral string instruments from Equator (included with my ROLI Seaboard), but I added it after the fact, as I was just playing around for a few minutes after the 10 minutes had elapsed.

Listen to Hellocello here.

Track 1 is where I began,

mapping out a chord progression using the 'Tension' setting in the Amplified Cello Quartet. In the Green Section, we begin on a Cmin, to C#sus then C#min, and back down to Cmajor. Then, we have a Gmaj, back to C#sus and C#min, and Cmajor again. Moving to the Pink, we start on Bbmaj, to Asus4, to Gmin, before returning to the Green Section.

Track 2 uses the 'Swell' setting,

which is a bit difficult to control, as it doesn't have an articulation/velocity setting to adjust the speed of the crescendo, so I kept it simple, sticking to just a few notes per 3 bar section. Track 3 adds some weird noisy setting, called 'Evil', which is a bit random, and was mostly me just playing around. Track 4 provides some harmonies, using one of the more normal settings, and finally, Track 5, which just doubles our chord tones. (Track 6 follows, which again, wasn't in the time limit, but I've included it anyway, cause why not? lol)

Track 1, Chords.

Track 6, Equator Strings, Added After the Fact.
