This song contained a very interesting discovery!

The first half of the song I was just piecing together ideas with no real direction, but in the second half I remembered how significantly different some instruments would sound if the note lengths were reduced past a certain size, so I did this with my kick and it ended up sounding completely different (hear the changes at 2:07 [short note length] and 2:09 [super short note length]). I decided to go with it, which ended up changing the mood for the second half in a way I thought was interesting.

I'd definitely like to try doing this again in a more "planned" scenario. Maybe next week?

120bpm, 5/4.
