Silver Sister

By dreat on March 22, 2026 10:45 pm

Second song of three. Same instruments, same theme. This one is Silver Sister, First Blue's sister. While she may be far away, she's often present and well known. She and First Blue are inseparable, despite the physical distance.

Week 12, so 12/8, second to last in that pattern. Felt like cheating, so I did some tricks to make it more... "uneven"? Also first time I used metric modulation here.

I had ambitious goal of having better mix there, but my week got so busy and I spend so much time fixing the melody, I ended up with basically same mix as previously. It is what it is. Still I feel I'm learning and levelling up, so that's cool.

Feel free to try to guess the theme.

Coooool I like how the melodies tie up in the middle between the bass and the lead with the synth in the back.

The odd meters work well, I had to trick my brain to follow the drum patterns but this is some good technical composition. Nice, looking forward to you next one! (No pressure)

I said something similar last week but the sound palette gives me 70s sci-fi vibes. Maybe it's the organ-ish synth lead + reverb?

Thanks! 12/8 makes it easier to make things smooth, so naturally, I had to make things harder for myself big_smile

Could be! I get retro sci-fi vibes not so rarely, so maybe I just should embrace them? big_smile
