Crafting a Universal Visual Soundtrack
I aimed to create an intensely visual track—a song you could pair with any video to enhance its beauty.
Picture any scene: people walking in the early morning of a big city, whales gliding through the ocean from a drone’s perspective, a shooting star streaking across the horizon, or even white blood cells attacking a virus. From the most ordinary to the most extraordinary images, this song should complement them all.

To achieve this, I used that treated piano—the same one I used on Contemplation —and the bass has an interesting behavior. It starts by following the chord progression, but in the middle, just before the anticipation builds, it changes completely, giving the feeling that something special is coming.
To evoke that moment of anticipation, I’ve incorporated a brief pause right after the final section of the song.
Try using it in your next Instagram Stories, or anywhere you need compelling and beautiful music to enhance the mood you want to convey. For doing this, check my Instagram Stories.
