About this album

Chapter 2: Piano and String Textures is a 13-song album from VITAL, released in 2020. It's film score and drone music, dark, mysterious and dramatic, built on synth, piano and strings. The songs run 87 to 150 BPM, in keys like D minor, C minor and G minor, and they're all instrumental. It's a natural fit for trailers, film and documentary work, TV and news promos and sports. Every song comes with stems (strings, pulses and synths) and alternate mixes, so it cuts to length without a re-edit.
