Sucks to hear about your vacation and shitty week man, hopefully we'll be back to somewhat of normalcy soon. And flights will be cheaper as demand spools back up, so rescheduling your trip should work out fine too. This is a cool ass little tune man, really digging all the parts and all the different places it goes.  So many different sounds and textures.  Hey also, I dont know which Korg synth your working with but I found out the other day that my Minilogue XD has a key command that tunes the oscillators.  May be something to look into.

  Thanks!  Yeah, I know my korg has a lot of complex functions, which I've barely scratched the surface of.  I'm sure there's lots of ways to tackle such issues either through the korg itself or with software, but I didn't have the time or the motivation to look into it this week.  And I actually think imperfections sometimes "add" a bit of a human element to songs, which can be a good thing.

Good call!  I agree, if it’s too perfect it doesn’t seem authentic.  I’m still newish to the world of synths so even the fact that they can go out of tune was new and mind blowing to me.

the intro seems to be fitting into a charly chaplin film!!! so sweet!!! The song itself has a kind of positive and no melancholic vibe to me. But probably your songtext is more depressing, unfortunately I do not unstand.
Great use of the Korg synth. Very tasty low frequencies.

Hope this was cathartic to make! Sounds great man, this song comes in waves!

  I know, synth technology is crazy, especially nowadays.  I've had my korg for like 14 years or something and I feel like I've barely scratched the surface of all that it can do.  I mostly just enjoy the wide variety of sounds it offers.

  Thanks!  The melancholy is maybe a little subtle, but perhaps I'm reading more into it than is really there.  Don't worry about understanding the lyrics.  They don't mean anything.  I was in a hurry and just made up some words to fill in because I wanted some vocals.

  Thanks.  It felt somewhat soothing I think, other than messing with the pitch issue in the intro.  The main part of the song just kind of flowed out.

The synths are so psychedelic. I like that

  Thanks!  I enjoy some psychedelic synths for sure.

This opening is really relaxing! Love the peaceful guitar, it feels like a lullaby.

  Thanks!  I think I was trying to go for a relaxing vibe.  I'm not totally sure where my head was at though to be honest.  I felt a bit frazzled this week.

Made me think of brian wilson a little nice harmonies, nice pads. This flows along so well. Very relaxing. Not sad, not happy, just is. Sorry to hear about you week. Sometimes the tough weeks lead to great songs? I'm often surprised by what comes out on those tough weeks.

Super melancholy feel to this week's track.  Really enjoyed those backing woo vocals that thicken up the bassier parts of the chord progression.  I hope you have a better upcoming week and can avoid the cv_blues

  I was thinking about that the other night.  Maybe some good will come in the long-run.  They say great art is supposed to come from suffering, or something like that. 

  Thanks! I'm doing a bit better already.  Just had a mega-stressful time at work and was feeling super burned out, but hopefully I'll be able to recharge a little bit here.

All things considered, it's a pretty soothing song.

A really different sound this week. That bass synth and layers of vocal (or chorus effect) are top notch! Dreamy trippy feeling. Nice how it keeps building in layers and complexity. I don't really pick up on the pitch issue, as I hear lots of synth and some detuning is always a good thing with layers of synth. Sorry you had a shitty week.  Hope this one is better!

I'm good with labeling it as a soothing vibe.  Thanks!

  The pitch issue only happened at the very beginning because I was manually trying to bend the pitch of my korg to match the previously recorded cello loop.  It just kind of wavers out of pitch a few times.  I don't think it's disastrous or anything, and maybe it's not even all that noticeable.  I think it would have sounded pretty bad if I hadn't bent it so it was closer in pitch though.  And thanks, this week was definitely an improvement on last week.
