Minimalziel

By halfbyte on January 12, 2014 3:20 pm

This week was a bit frustrating. I started off with a good idea on monday, then had a different idea and in the end I threw them all away last night because I couldn't get them to work as a song. So I started from scratch with a simple house chord and finished the whole 3 minute song within a few hours.

The good thing about all of this is that I get to practice a lot the one thing that was always the hardest for me: Arranging a song, creating interesting breaks and drops. I hope to be much better at this in 50 weeks smile

Sounds: Drums are Ableton presets slightly tweaked. House chord is a self made Analog patch, same goes for the weird high pitched piano-style sound. Bass is the Max for Live Bassline patch.

but that's the thing: sometimes you have to learn to let go of an idea. even if it is still very appealing to put it in. in the end, you went through a process. it took a week, you finished it by finding a better solution. mission: complete smile good work!

i think it payed off! Nice one!

Thanks guys! heart

nice minimal groove, definitely came out well

Yep, I dig the minimal groove too.  Almost got that click vibe about it.

Niceeee. That rise in (sustain?) on that chord keeps it flowing so well. The break down with the vocal sample is really well placed too.

dang, i need to get better at making my own patches in Analog.
