Hey Trevor! I was just wondering if you have ever heard of Break of Reality "the farewell" specifically, where the cello and drums are paired to enhance the drum sound? I guess what I am trying to ask if this is something you will ever incorporate in your music and your opinion of this song, I personally think it sounds amazing.

MY ANSWER:

Hadn’t heard of them so I checked a live video just now. It’s pretty “cinematic” with a lot of pop qualities to it. I love both of those concepts but somehow this is a bit too obvious to me. Not really my thing. Pairing percussion with strings is a great orchestration and I certainly have done that. This would be a fun group to write for if they’d be into doing some less conventional material. That said, it does sound really good, you’re not wrong.
