I had to go on a trip to say goodbye to an old friend last weekend so I missed last week's upload.

This is started on an OP-XY and finished in Ableton.

Good to hear an OP-XY track.  I dig it.  Cool guitar part.  Was that OP-XY or done later?  I've got one brewing which I think will end up as a WB soon.

And sorry to hear about the friend.

Thanks! The guitar was added in Ableton. I wanted to challenge myself to incorporate a sound I wouldn’t normally choose, so I grabbed a couple of royalty free country and western samples. I like how it turned out!

And if you have pets, hug them!

Yes.  I've lost 2 staffies over the years and now I have 2 cats!  Completely different vibe but I'm really enjoying the change as much as I love dogs.  Always so hard losing a pet.

This is so cool! I love the blend of 808 bass, otherworldly synths and bluesy guitar lines.

Sorry to hear about your furry friend.
Lost our cat in November last year...
Sending love to you and your family!

ya both synths at 1:35 are like good twin/evil twin. and then the guitar(?) after that? :chefskiss:
