Fire at will!!!

In other FB group i received some questions about shimmer effects. It is mostly from Mike's masterclasses Rhythm and percussion in particular. To create a shimmer effect I usually (try to) write 2 conflicting arpeggios, one in triplets one in synch with beats. (for example, violins in triplets with vibes + clarinet and flutes in beat + some pad (could be horns or trombones) to glue them) There is always a lot of room for counter point. I wait usually for second presentment as this one is string driven I used some oboes and eng-horns on counter point. Time to put this one into bed. I feel the need for some 900-strings and epic horns these days ))
