Odd how stuff thrown together quickly can sometimes turn out more "complete" than stuff worked on for weeks. I think it's just a matter of getting into that organic, compositional flow. Track turned out great! Interesting stepladder style bassline and I'm really loving that lead melody that comes in about 2/3rds through.

Everybody this week seems to be "in the flow." Well done!

What an amazing track!

What an amazing track!

Thanks! The melody line is Roland Juno 60, it has such a pure 80´s sound. The strings doubling it is JD 800.

Thank you, perhaps it´s the magic of Springtime

Great! I am glad you like it. Next one will be much more experimental and less straightforward...

That's an interesting psychological effect there, and I'm sure a lot of us can relate to it. I posit it's similar to rewiring your brain, where having little time makes you return to the basics and allow you to redevelop yourself into a different direction, using sounds, progressions and sections you'd normally never do but are now learning to. Perhaps it leads to betterment: an easier process, stuff you like more and all around more versatile.

You could take this opportunity to do something completely different, like a particular genre (waltz is usually pretty easy), or let it progress naturally.

Thanks, good thinking... I think it also shows that the shortage of time may help you work more intuitively and do what comes totally naturally. Might try that waltz anyway in a week or two smile

It certainly does that too in a do-or-die way, especially if you weren't already.

isn't this the beauty of this WB adventure?  lovely piece!

Damn sounds like you got all the dope gear to mess with. How do you leave the house? haha... sounds awesome

Damn sounds like you got all the dope gear to mess with. How do you leave the house? haha... sounds awesome

Hehe, thanks... Regarding the old gear, I was lucky to be around when people were almost throwing old gear away to make room for Korg M1s etc in the early 90´s. I collected many of my 2nd division classics then. I didn´t have enough pocket money to get a Minimoog or Jupiter 8, as they were relatively expensive also then. But I got many of the not-so-desirable-but-good synths then. The only real classics I have from analog days are probably Arp Odyssey Mk3, 808 and 707. I had a chance to buy some more in the late 00´s too, just before the prices went really crazy. There´s a lot of interesting gear now from the late 80´s to early 00´s that are very very cheap in relation to their capabilities. To be quite honest, i actually do not have much contemporary gear at all... just a couple of Strymon effects. But all in all, it´s not really about the gear... one can accomplish cool things if just takes the time to learn what you you have + some cool effect units. If I started nowadays, I would probably use just software

Thank you! I agree... I try to see that this WB is a good excuse to try to work outside the box one has put oneself in over the years
