For Granted

It felt a little uneasy to enjoy making music this week. The situation in Ukraine is awful, and it has been heartbreaking and terrifying to watch it unfold. It also hurts that there’s hardly anything we as individuals can do about it. Hoping and praying that it will get better very soon. For this weekly beat I found a chord progression that feels the way it does to hear about it.
I have been taking more influence from those 70s beats by putting a blanket on my snare, and using a very quiet technique. It really pops through the mix nicely, and allows a lot of space. I just ended up building around the chords with many layers and instruments, and the notes sort of speak for themselves with a couple of guitar solo melodies. I quite like the emotion it portrays.
Hope everyone and their families are safe and well.
