Repeating waves on the static sea

"There was a lovely intro on the piece I selected, a repeating radio station indent that sounded great. I looped part of this and added a number of synths playing alongside it, some with slight effects, it was a nice sound and I found looping it for a few minutes was pleasent. I added some other little bits of the radio transmission, voice snippets and a sad sounding violin track that was on the piece I selected. That seemed to round the piece off nicely and felt that was enough. I did another version with building beats but decided to scrap this and stick with this simpler version."
