This is my EFC10 entry - Distant, Fading Memories. I've used some of my favourite VSTs and samples as follows:

I've prinicipally used Polygon by Glitchmachines for the main atmospheric sounds, using a vocal sample from the Ivy Audio Clare solo; a glitched farfisa sample; An atmos sample from 99Sounds Cinematic Sound FX and a sample from the Morning Beast sample pack. These are all excellent free sample packs and I've used Polygon quite subtly to create the atmosphere.

I've then tried to add mostly natural sounds sympathetically and subtly adding a Cimbalom (Alchemy player), Ehru (Mini Ehru VST), bass / cello (String Theory VST) and used Kirnu-Cream CM to create an arp from Serenity Free by H G Fortune. I've also used a wind chime sample from Warped World sample pack.

I removed percussion because it overcrowded the sound too much and however hard I tried I couldn't get it to sound right.

Made and produced in MuLab 6
