Expressive CS-80 brass, lush VP-330 strings, atmospheric Rhodes melodies, and cinematic sci-fi sound design inspired by Vangelis’ Blade Runner soundtrack.
The full remake, played through in Ableton Live.
Vangelis’ Tears in Rain is one of the most iconic pieces from the Blade Runner soundtrack, combining expressive Yamaha CS-80 brass, Roland VP-330 strings, Fender Rhodes, and cavernous Lexicon-style reverb into a cinematic electronic soundscape that helped define the sound of science fiction for decades to come.
This remake recreates the full arrangement inside Ableton Live using Arturia CS-80 V, Prophet-5 V, Stage-73 V, and custom-sampled Roland VP-330 instruments, including the expressive brass swells, evolving string textures, Rhodes melody, tape-style delays, and atmospheric reverb that define the original recording.
Each remake comes as two ZIP downloads: the full Ableton Live project with every track frozen, and multitrack WAV stems for every audio track with MIDI files for every MIDI part.
