Vibin'

By halfbyte on May 10, 2024 5:04 pm

This was a fun one, as this almost 100% turned out the way I wanted it to. The only compromise is the lead melody that was supposed to be an improvisation on top of the rest of the beat but I suck too much at keyboard playing for that to be viable and the result being usable.

I really like the way the chords are repeating at a very odd period - I tried to reign them in a bit, but it made things sound worse, so I kept them at a length of 2.2.2, never really matching the beat which is why the beginning of the song sounds so weird.

I'm definitely vibin' to this smile the drums feeling a bit out of sync is great, takes a moment to feel "settled in" but never seems "wrong." The other elements - bass, percussion, melodies, really tie everything together.

The break and the bass nail it down - and those chords float over top beautifully like this tiny bit of uncertainty. I tend to think the best dnb has that one musical element that always keeps you "swimming" just a bit and the chords do it for me here perfectly.

Aww, thanks, yeah, that sounds about right. I was really happy how well this worked.
