I spent the entirety of December making a beat a day (except for weekends) with the OP-Z. To keep myself from getting hung up on any one beat, I set a goal to create something within the time it took me to get from Gotokuji to Shibuya and back, which is my daily commute (about 10/15 minutes each way). I made a lot of bad/weird/strange/odd music, but I had a whole heap of fun and I learned a lot.
This particular track started in the same way; I made the intro on the commute during the week, but spent more time building it out and trying to include what I learned and enjoyed in December: mainly using randomization to make melody lines a little more interesting, and playing with the Master Track function, which allows allows for chord progressions within a single pattern.
(Recorded on an OP-Z on a lazy Sunday morning. No cat was involved in the making of this music; she opted to sleep on my pillow while I worked, which was nice of her.)
