After last week's debacle, I gave myself extra time to work on the mix of this little tune...

Maybe I should go back to recording the tracks independently - or maybe at least the kick and snare... hmm

This track started as just an exploration of some low-pass gate high hats. I added some crunchy polysix pads and the rest is history.

I don't know about the rest of y'all but the last two weeks have felt like a real fog, that I'm just starting to emerge from. Hope you're all taking care and feeling good.

I don't know about the past two weeks but the past weekend was tough as I managed to be unoriginal and catch covid. Had a bad weekend, which did not help with the track. Looking foward to getting out of this all pandemia thing.

Interesting experiment on the high hat and the layer of noise you put in the background.

oh my everyone get well soon!

this is cool, love the mix of beats and noise.  i might like the kick and snare louder - but maybe just crank them a bit more?  i really like just recording everything off a machine in one go - less stress smile
