Q Lazzarus’ Goodbye Horses is a sparse synth-driven track from the late ’80s, best known for its appearance in The Silence of the Lambs. The arrangement combines muted string synths, FM sounds, simple basslines, and heavily reverberated drums, creating an atmospheric sound with relatively few layers.

This Ableton Live remake recreates the main synth parts using Arturia Jun-6 V, Prophet-5 V, and DX7 V, including the layered string patches, FM choir and pizzicato sounds, and dark synth bass.

What’s Included

Each remake includes two separate ZIP downloads. The first contains the full Ableton Live project with all tracks frozen for compatibility. The second contains multitrack WAV stems for every audio track in the project, along with MIDI files for all MIDI-based parts.

Project screenshots on the right show the arrangement and overall structure of the Ableton Live session. The synths and effects listed below are the third-party VST plugins used in the Ableton Project and are required if you want to fully edit or unfreeze the tracks.
