I’ve been experimenting with “loops of strings” – mostly cello – to build a track I called “forlorn.” It seemed to work well with my poem watching my blind cat so I’ve mixed it myself. (You can hear much more professional mixes of the same poem by Speck and Victor Frias here on ccmixter.) I’ll upload the strings separately so that others can produce equally depressing works! Thanks to Helen Money and ljova for the interesting string samples.
