Avila - music and video

Alessandro

Hello everyone! As a professional filmmaker - but also a trained musician - from time to time I love to compose music for my videos. I was in Avila, Spain - one hour from Madrid - to shoot a documentary and I got some aerial footage of the beautiful medieval town. I decided to create a music for it and I used, among the others, Spitfire Abbey Road Two and Intimate Strings (I have all kinds of strings library, but for some pieces I still love it). This is Avila:

This sounds amazing! What did you use for the percussion?

Thank you very much! I did forget to say that for the percussion I used another Spitfire library - Albion Sostice. It sounds weird because percussion are not the first thing you have in mind when using that library, but some of them are very nice!

Well I want to visit Avila now. Nice job. The crunchy percussion shuffles reminds me of earlier Craig Armstrong works.

Thank you so much! Àvila is amazing. Super peaceful (maybe too much 😄), well preserved, clean. All the surroundings remind you of the Don Quixote story. I was there to film a documentary about Salvador Dali, so I stayed there for a few days sleeping in a monastery, a very unusual experience.
