Started off aiming for synthpoppy but don't think I landed quite in the zone. Still had fun.

The dice gave me Eb as a starting point and I tried writing a decent progression but even after asking chatgpt for suggestions, it wasn't working so it became a crude two chord jam (Eb, Cmin for reasons that are probably more obvious to most of you than to me)

Two instances of ezdrummer with mostly stock patterns, one for the main beat with some bitpunk on it and the other for the treated hand drum sounding stuff.

ezbass with some stock funk loops in the two chords and then amp simulator and some other stuff to dirty it up and tone down the elevator music flavor.

I tried a guitar part, and I'm closer than I used to be but still not really a guitarist so it didn't work.. until I mangled the fuck out of it and now it's that kinda neat squawky synthy sound that comes in right after the bass.

Vital, LABS, Tyrelln6 for the synths.

A wee ebow guitar for flavor but I'm not sure it added anything.

the main synth melody (reminds me of Austin Powers for some reason) was just ripped from part of the bass pattern (removed accent/ghost notes, funky rests, slides, etc and edited note length and placement a little).

Cool. Pretty intense, but I like how it all fits together. The bass lines are nice.

This is very enjoyable!

the baseline is great
