Changes You Wrought

By Cursory on February 11, 2024 10:23 pm

Happy Week 6! Didn't fully realize "the vision" for this week's track despite lots of time spent >.< but the "bones" are here and I'm fine with where I ended up. Re-learned a lesson I thought I figured out previously, which is to figure out overall structure and songwriting before recording a bunch of parts. It was a headache to try to re-do or adapt previously recorded parts to fit new ideas and this was a massive timesuck. (Wrote a bridge and third chorus I just didn't have time to implement, though it feels long enough for what it is.) Channeling late 00's indie pop favorites.

This turned out great - it's got a sweet sound to it. Song structure can definitely be a pain to settle on, but this sounds pretty coherent to me. Nice work! big_smile

The atmosphere of the song is great, but I especially like the bass phrase.

Really nice! I like the thing going on with the crash cymbal in the big parts. Definitely give it an extra something. Vocals are great as always smile

Thank you! I'm realizing I want to get better at adding in bridge sections and other variations that still fit the tone - I was a bit bummed that I felt I fell short of what I wanted here. Glad things are coherent otherwise!

Thanks! Always working on the balance of bass being a compliment vs a focus, glad this one worked.

Thanks! Much appreciated, glad they could help things feel bigger in those sections.

i really liked how you blended the guitar parts with the riff become if more harmonised in different sections. Also really cool choruses! Great job smile

This feels more singer songwriter than pop, but I suppose there's a lot of overlap around that time.
I like this, laid back.
