Description
A cold night falls over the remote West. At the saloon, brave men gather around the bar — drinking, smoking, and sharing stories of epic adventures, fierce duels, bold heists, and legends long past. I’m not very familiar with the genre. My intention was to create a piece inspired by the legends and brave cowboys who would usually gather at a saloon. It’s my first jam, and I’m very happy to participate. It was an interesting experiment and a great way to develop creativity.

Huge composition. The wide array of instruments really makes the scene feel epic and dramatic. As it progressed, it really felt like different instruments were stepping in and out of the spotlight with every new phrase. And each new phrase was marked by large orchestral swells that added a ton to the weight of the composition. 

I felt like this composition wouldn't be what my brain goes to first when searching for a track encapsulating the Western, old saloon aesthetic. But I will take this sort of cinematic, fantastical composition over whatever the former is any day. I thoroughly enjoyed the Ballad of Glory and Whiskey, and it has a great name too.
