Vangelis “Tears in Rain” Project

Description

This pack contains the Ableton Live Project for my full remake of Vangelis’ Tears in Rain, from the Blade Runner soundtrack, featured in my Blade Runner Synth Sounds article.

The project replicates Vangelis’ free-tempo performance using tempo automation, with additional automation on filters and volume. A tape noise sample is included on track 9 to emulate the background noise of the original—mute this track if you prefer a cleaner sound.
