In your workflow
An intimate instrument with a wider world around it.
The open-string recordings give Tales a warm, sustained guitar character that is easy to explore from a keyboard. Add a texture layer when the arrangement needs more atmosphere, or keep the guitar exposed for a quieter moment. The combination supports both recognisable acoustic parts and more imaginative cinematic sounds.
