Christina Vantzou
No. 2
kranky

Ambient violin and subtle electronics

*1. (2:21) Low hum, pretty sparse piano, strings, sparkly and delicate
2. (4:24) Low string, low piano, metered, lethargic
*3. (3:33) Dramatic suspense turns into slow moving stringed drone, very soundtrack like
4. (1:18) Slow grounded synth washes
5. (3:32) Female vox oooh oohing under wobbly synths and strings then takes a stand
*6. (4:14) French horn, strings and vox move in and out turns drone then speeds back up into a really pretty melody with strings and flute
7. (4:44) Wary clarinet turn into a melancholy stringed melody that fades away into a drone, vox sings
8. (1:50) Swelling violin
9. (2:03) Mystical hum, hushed oohs, pretty tender drone
**10. (1:58) Light piano, faint french horn melody, woodwinds come in
*11. (4:42) Tender memories then drone fills out and swells
