‹ Production Notes
In the spirit of Wangus, everything is M8 synthesized. Only the closing chords were sampled from a Yamaha e-piano. Mixed and mangled on M8, mastered in Logic. Wangus was kind enough to share the M8 bundle of the original on the Weekly Beats discord. He often makes things glitchy using tables, which was a big inspiration for some of the patches in this one.
The key feature of the original hook is a G-three-quarter-sharp note, which was the only requirement given that should be in there. This led to the microtonal chord stuff at the start. Didn't know where to take it other than a big dubstep breakdown.
This one has been a while in the making, I've been working on it on and off for the past few weeks. It's mostly variations on the main melodic line, except for the bridge, which is some noodling over the bridge chords from the original. It's fun to have a little side project to tinker on when other tracks are turning into roadblocks.
Really really happy with how this one turned out, I hope it does the original justice!
