Almost Gone

This one was a spot of fun.
All drums in this were performed by a Singular Sound Beatbuddy. All synths are the Jupiter 8 plugin from Arturia.
The first thing laid down was the drums. I sat there, stomping away changing fills and parts in what I thought might be a song structure. Turned out alright. The rest was layered around it.

Basic philosophy: One drum machine, one synth. Not perfect by any stretch (looking at you kick drum) but it was certainly enjoyable.

this is great, angellis

The kick might be a little subdued but this whole thing has the sound of early goth/post-punk. It's 100% a blast from my past and I love it!

Thanks! Its a shame about the kick but the beatbuddy is actually quite joyous in its simplicity.

Love the layering on the vocals.
