Written entirely on Dirtywave M8 Tracker
Light mastering in Audacity (normalizing/limiting/compressing).

A continuation of last week's track's outro, which was the previous week's outro, which was the previous week's outro, which...

Nothing clever, could have done more to be less repetitive, a few variations here and there to the bass or chords.
You already know the drill: time (which I do not have plenty of) is of the essence.

A tune that would be nice to come back to and have some supplementary work done on.

Thanks for listening!

Nice. I’m always excited to see what you do with that fun into / outro concept of yours. Favorite this time is the arp. But with it running in both the intro and the outro, is it back next week!?

Always read the tags people.

How are you this listening and commenting this fast?! Will try to listen to a few tracks but this week will be under a bit of work.
Thank you for listening!
Listening closely, you'll find that last week's outro and this week's intro doesn't contain the arp as main elements (it's chords + choir), the arp does come fast in the tune,  but almost (subject to verification, might not be true with a sample used on week 10 or so) no track will contain the same one or two elements in their intro / outro. ; )
Anyway, the arp WILL be back! (Might try for something Royksopp-y, stay tuned.)
(Sorry for the wall of text.)

Such a cool opening! Nice use of sidechaining with the bass. smile It already has some nice variations, I think. I do think that it would be cool, in a future version, to have a more prominent, in your face lead. Great stuff!

Travelling to work so had extra time. Always load up everyone who gave feedback on last weeks track first (and if anyone beats me to this weeks). Only two of those to go! Anyway, I stand corrected on the arp then!

Duly noted!
Leads always tend to take the most out of my already limited 2-hours session.
It's the one thing that shouldn't be loud but not too much, piercing the mix but not press everything down into oblivion, and voicing it to not be too cheesy, it's always the most challenging (that and bass lines).

Thanks for listening! (You might listen to it again during the Euromeet, sorry in advance.)

Oh man, once again a super cool continuation, and and interesting spin from starting point to finish. I still haven't listened to the full project, gonna save that for a grand reveal once you are done.
Nice one!

love the intro! it felt like I just warped into another world.  Love the crunchy downtempo vibes at 1:11 that had me nodding along.  Oooh love the uplifting arp progression towards the end too.  Excellent work!

Hey, thanks! A bit too similar to last week's to my taste, had a hard time getting away from the choir sample and the arp is almost always a soothing triangle wave, which can also sound similar from track to track.

Thanks for listening! Will try to mix things up a bit more next week. Thank you for the nice words.
