In The Grip Of Himalaya - Orlando51

Very dark and moody, love it!

Like it.

A very sweet and enticing musical expression! I had to look up the word "Alpinism" as I do not remember hearing it before. I do so love the journey to altitude and the return, although I do not live in a mountainous region any more. The highest natural altitudes here are steep hills which were oak savannah, and were used as sacred/burial grounds for the native peoples, then became mining facilities, and are now "managed" parks... still they are enjoyable to experience as long as the gov't sprayers aren't out. The real mountains here are the Mayo Clinic buildings though, sad but true. Sorry, I'm wandering... I enjoyed the song so much, simplicity and depth simultaneously! Very good texture and range, and it would be excellent in a film. It does remind me a bit of the "new age" craze back in the eighties, when they would advertise music in this vein on blue screen "as seen on TV" sort of commercials. Now I see those same musical works at the second hand/thrift shops. It's sad really, as I'm sure people put a lot of effort into those, now seemingly classical, works. You've done a good thing here! Fave!

Hi Orlando, how are you, my friend?
I was out of time, and I ended up staying a long time without checking the site.
And here I am listening to one of your beautiful songs, after all, you have great abilities to create brilliant atmospheres in the songs, light and heavy pads flowing in the same wave, mystery and grandeur in the form of music.
Respect.

Hey Orlando

Another amazing piece of work by you once again, mate you never fail to deliver, stunning pads, everything sounds so spot on, massive work, like said before I don't download many tracks from the loop, but thinking I have downloaded more from you then anyone else in the 7 yrs plus I have been here, so that's saying something about your brilliance as an artist...dwnloaded & massive fav'd...peace mosaic...

Stunning composition and the pads were fantastic. Would you share some of the names of the pads you were using? I'm your biggest fan. PDMuzak

its got the whole high mountain vibe Orlando...with the sky floating by and the mystics in the valley below beneath the light mist that floats over the valleys...great stuff...much enjoyed though I am very late here this time..this was a fine tonic this evening...Ed

The magic is almost all of your tracks and that counts for this one as well. You created soem great atmpshere again and Im getting cold already. Maybe this song fits well when its 30 degrees outside. It will cool me down for sure :p. In teh 2nd part you really increase the creaminess which deepens the track even more. Well done, just well done!

Man, you're worlds better with the V.I.s than myself. Rather impressed with the feeling you were portraying. Something daunting in the air. The vocal sounding stuff was a surprise. Nice swells and fades. Impressive. Sounds professional.

Sweet.

Evan

By the track you have created, you have perfected and have truly depicted the true meaning and to whom the track is dedicated to, and I applause to that!

Cheers my friend! This track can also be used in documentaries, exploration movies, and such in my perspective.

THAT INTRO. Perfection in my opinion. What did you use to get that wailing sort of violin at the start? I really like that sound. Evokes an image of a guy lsot in the desert, staring off into the sunset. Or maybe hes on another planet. Regardless, very dreamy and lovely mix. The ambience on this one is so beautiful. This is perfection to my ears, my good Orlando. Great work on making something different and at a much higher quality and grace than what I normally find on LM :)

Hello Orrie,
That is a wonderful pice of music mate.
I really enjoyed it.
As usual it is a great job.
All I can say is well done what else one can say to the top man LM.

Jamid

Really nice trippy one.
Great mastering. All sounds so beautiful. Another very dreamy one just in a perfect Orlando style.
I really enjoyed the "vocals". Did you made them or are they real?
Everything fits very well and i enjoyed the listen!

Great one - respect

stay tuned

Exquisite composition Sir Orlando oh 'mystical magical one'.
It has an almost religious soundscape,meditative,needs to be heard across the Far east NOW!

Keep well... Rhodesy :)

I agree with crucethus, it's very creamy! you should hear the far cry 4 soundtrack it's very similar

the opening sets the mood really well, the transitions are smooth yet very different -- gives the track a real nice sense of progress -- when you're trekking up the range, you want to feel like you're not stuck in one place. around 2:30-3:00 the "weight" drops off a bit, almost took me out of the feel, but you brought it back nicely around 3;15 and onwards...Bravo. Peaks and valleys, huh? This would be great for accompanying a nature video/documentary!

Orlando, Bravo!

Smooth and creamy pads flowing through my ears. I feel like I am flying in the cradle of Vishnu's many arms circumnavigating the nepalese highlands onto the Himalayas.

Play this song with that GIF and it's absolutely haunting and beautiful.
Congrats on an outstanding song.

OMG this is soo perfect.Amazing ambience!!!

I live in India and I have never been to Himalayas :( but this track took me over to the Himalayan Journey.
I was completely immersed in the track since the beginning.

Moving textures,beautiful ambience,epic synths and pads.Sound design at it's best!

This will really suit for a movie background score.

Which libraries and VSTs do you use for your ambience music?

I'm in love with this perfection!

Great great work!

Aviat

ok so you didn't sing on this one but you could have done some yodeling. ;)

You sure captured the grandeur and vastness of the Himalayas in this track. It is sad to see the genocide inside of Tibet being ignored by the world but on the other hand the country of Bhutan is an amazing example of how a country can respect their land, take care of their people and still prosper. Crazy mixed up world!

There is a peaceful, spiritual and uplifting feel to the track. Gave it several listens. Great meditation ambiance, my heart rate has lowered, time for more coffee.

Om Mani Padme Hung!

Hi. Zej si pa zadel. To pa je komad. Za meditacija ful dubar. This is the N1 track here in loopie. This track is powerful for meditations. Thx Orla51. ;))

Whoa! This is so majestic and i take my hats off to you Orlando. That monk like chant just transports me to the Tibetian mountains and the whole track is magical.

I betcha the Dalai Lama would love this too. Awesome work again. Love it!
Blessings - Billy.

Cool stuff....

Wow. Really perfect. You have a great talent...

Your signature organic soundscapes are wonderful as always. This one has a particularly slow movement and subtle textures that inspire the mind to wander though the images it conjures. I enjoyed the meditative experience.

TA

You're just afraid of the Yeti, but if you sing to him you'd be safe ;) I've never been to the Himalayas but sure was transported there listening to this!
