Even though I said he used instruments and an ochestra, I meant synthesised ones. I already discovered the music was made with synthesizers a while back when we had a similar discussion about Chevalier's music. However, using the full array of such synthesizers with such a quality they would seem almost real instruments, aptly prompts for the word 'orchestra' in my opinion.
RayFan, can you point out which instruments Eric's using in the track of The Precipice named 'The Great Escape' on RayTunes? I can say there's some violins, a glockenspiel, some other instruments, a double bass, etc., but what you can clearly hear is that there's multiple types of instruments playing the same melody at the same time, making it very hard to pinpoint exactly what array of instruments is playing.
(OK, I'll admit that if I put some effort into it, I can probably distinguish each instrument individually, but it's not something I would call simplistic. Perhaps we just have two different interpretations of the word. However, I'm curious whether or not you'd call Origins' music simplistic, since it's also only say 5 instruments playing at one time in there, while the music itself is a lot more frantic.)
