Here's some more Requiem for My Harlequin -trivia: The instrumental melody that starts the song was originally played with a piano in the early demos. It sounded ok, but I felt this is a song that really needs to push the drama over the top, so the melody also needs something, let's say more flamboyant. I experimented with different sounds, and the instrument you hear in the final song is a combination of several elements mixed together, including a xylophone, clarinet, flute, an acoustic guitar, some synth sounds, and a string ensemble pizzicato + staccato. 🎼
