Emily Wells : Symphony 6 Fair Thee Well & The Requim Mix

“The Symphonies: Dreams Memories & Parties” is Emily Well’s latest release. To get the sound of a full orchestra, Emily didn’t take the easy way out and simply loop the layers of violins; instead, she played up to 21 separate tracks of violin on each symphony, often using an octave pedal to create the tones of an underwater cello or viola. In addition to the strings, there is a plethora of other sounds, electronic and organic alike. Two years ago, Wells found a bassist, Joey Reina, and a drummer, Sam Halterman, who add a richness to both the live show and the recordings. Their contributions to “The Symphonies” give the compositions more depth as well as a little junk in the trunk. You should absolutely not miss the opportunity to listen to the entire album, I think Chopin would have been very impressed by the mixture of classical and modern sounds
