Undercurrent

Didn't have much time this week, so this song could use some more development, but the basic structure is there. I might repurpose/reorchestrate it later for a retro game.

I like how it's very chill and suddenly kicks off with all the complexity.

You could imagine it for a game and then kicking into combat or navigation.

Well done

Thanks! Yeah, that's a good idea.

Thank you!

V cool tune, got me bopping with my headphones. Musically it’s a great pattern

Nice light opening switching up into that awesome driving, slidy bass! Very cool theme.

Thanks! Yeah the structure is pretty much there, maybe in time I can come back later to expand the sections a bit more.

Thanks! I'm always excited when I find the instrument I'm using slides when I overlap notes and from there I know I have to include that feature XD ...one day I'll have to put time into understanding how it does that so I can eventually create my own instrument that does that.

Most synths have a mono playback mode if software or portamento / glide toggle and then you can just overlap the notes.

Oh yeah, I forgot that FL Studio has a portamento mode that I use sometimes but so far I have to manually enter and adjust it. Maybe there's a more automated way, I'll have to look at it more in depth.

Honestly most of my slew/glide/portamento of pitch I do in VCV rack or hardware modular
