Tumultuous Dreamer

A bit of a mishmash but I'm pretty happy with it. My goal this week was to work on a more compositional take to the drumming - i.e. trying to write drum parts in each section that highlighted certain parts of the rest instead of only laying down a background groove. It's far from amazing, but it's a clear step forward for me on this aspect. The arrangement is def a bit random; but I think it mostly works. Also hit the limiter a fair bit on this track, and really like the way it makes the chords swell out of the leads, even if that effect is done to death.

Happy week 47! Almost there!

This jam was fun and interesting!

Some great stuff happening in here. Love the thing that started at :40

These drums are very gentle, really giving the rest a lot of space.

Thanks for listening!! Glad you all enjoyed it and hope you are having a great week and also Thanksgiving weekend/weekend of online sales.

Love this, really nice lofi feel with the slightly glitchy sounding percussion and the gritty chords. Love that bass sound/line around the 50 second mark. Good work!

Yay! Glad you liked it! I had some worries that it might feel a bit out of place when I first created that bassline haha.
