Up to the Dance

This track came out by surprise. Partly because it's quite different from what I've been doing last month or previously, which is more moody, experimental ambient with a melodic touch. It does, however, continue the direction in had in the first two weeks with combining Wavestate, Geoshred Sax and electric guitar.
I had been working on a slightly different track, still with the same instrumentation but somehow I was feeling stuck with it. So two days ago at 10pm I said "whatever" and jumped on a completely empty template. Browsing through the patches I made for the Wavestate a found a groovy acoustic bass one and it was instant inspiration. I added an organ like short chord motive and some piano then layered the first guitar and sax melodies. It's funny that I barely know anything about this type of sound as I don't listen much to this type of music so I played intuitively and it was great fun!
The next day I added drums with an actual midi drum controller (so they might not be great, but working on that) and another sax melody then today I redid the clean guitar parts. Nice little short tune that shows how good is to break your boundaries and just go on a different direction when you feel stuck.
