Relax Track 5

How long do you think you can retain information after a lecture if you don't revise? Study shows that you would lose 80% of the information after a week. So take up your notes, process what you've heard, and play this music and maximize your effort to retain what you've learnt.

Home Sweet Home

It always feels good to come back home after work, or particularly after an overseas trip, where your family welcomes you back, where your family pet would greet you at the door, and where you can let go your worries and fears because all that you really need is within your home..

Enjoy this track! Home sweet home!

First of all, I must apologies for the lack of photos here. There's only one photo (in case you didn't noticed). I didn't have enough time to gather the pictures. Hope you guys wouldn't mind too much.

About the music, it was a product of a relax track that I was working on. While playing the first few bars, I felt that it has potential to exist as a separate short track song in itself. It came as those inspirational moments when you feel that whatever you play will be good. However, though I personally feel that the beginning phrase of the song was particularly good :P it kinda slack in the middle.

Well that's about it. I hope you guys enjoy this song no matter. Remember to subscribe and like this if you enjoyed this song. I promise to deliver better tracks for you guys!

I  hope you guys find this track more relaxing, calming and peaceful than previous background music tracks. I learnt something new over the past few weeks. Setting reverb and chorus to high, and lowering attack can create the calming effect, and this certainly brings up the mood. It isn't really difficult to do so, I should have done that for previous background tracks.

There are actually two different yet similar tracks playing at the same time. One is the grand piano sound, the other is 'swirling electric piano', according to Garageband. I simply copied and paste the notes and played them at the exact same time. You can hear 'swirling electric piano' from 23:45. It has a calming feel by itself, but I feel that it lacks the percussive sound. So for the other parts of the track, I added to grand piano to create that percussive sound. Think it sounds better?

Oh and by the way, I also added some nature sounds like birds singing, water dropping, waves etc. I feel it certainly complements the mood of this track.

Lastly, hope you enjoy this track! For more of such tracks, don't forget to subscribe!
