Missing You

Really left this one to the 11th hour, but luckily this weekend it's Easter holiday in Australia, so I was able to finish this off Monday morning.
I've been having some excellent musical experiences lately, and some of these have filtered through into this track. Notable influences are the music of Kiasmos, my deepening relationship with reverb (it looks like it's going to be a serious, committed relationship), and my discovery of multiband compression. Game changer! I spent way too much time applying it to everything.
These last few weeks I've been really enjoying finding new ways to refine the sounds. I keep coming back to the same techniques. One thing I'm continually unhappy with though, is my bass sounds. I can't get the bass to sound good! It sounds very different from my speakers to my headphones, I can't predict it. I took advantage of an Easter sale to snap up a pair of monitor speakers I've been eyeing for a while. They should arrive this week. Hopefully they'll help!
Tools were: Ableton Live 9, Roland FP-50 digital piano and a touch of Roland Gaia. Kinda regret the Gaia now.
