Vital is amazing... absolutely my go to wavetable synth, so easy to patch and it sounds great.  And not even like, "it's great... for a free VST"... just a great soft synth. 

I can 100% relate to a rough week draining all creative energy, though gotta say, for being creatively tapped out, the piano part in this is pretty dope.  Well done.

yeah, that piano part is really nice. here's to a less stressful week!

Migraines create weird things, but often interesting things that can lead us elsewhere. The technique of pushing the vocal loop back into echo and reverb into a background space could absolutely be used again - in extreme - to create some really musically engaging pieces. And the piano is beautiful - that'll easily lead you somewhere new too.

I hope your M8 is okay!

Release the pressure, you got this! Sorry to hear about the m8 hope all is good. I can't play piano either so it takes a ton of time to "draw" notes, well done.

Piano buddies this week! I'm sorry you had a rough one, but this is a beautiful creation to come out of it! The fact that you dropped the vocal sample loop behind the piano saves it from getting old (or causing emotional damage). Great work on the piano - it really sets the mood for this piece.

Bummer on the stressful work weeks, the equipment failure, and the migraines, but you've managed to squeeze out a fun track here.  I think the vocal loop kind of becomes hypnotizing through the repetition, and there's enough else going on with the piano to focus on that I didn't get tired of it.  Thanks for the heads up about Vital.  I haven't heard of it, but free is the right price, so I just downloaded it and will have to check it out when I get a chance.

Not my favorite work of yours but I appreciate the video link I knew the meme but not the entire context.

Hope life treats you better this week!

Good job working through adversity this week. I don't know if I would be able to recover from an M8 failure other than just recording something live on my phone! I really like the piano playing and would challenge your assertion that you "can't play the piano for real" ... you did it, so it's real.

I really like how you used that emotional damage sample over the track and how it has that rhythm to it. Cool!

kind of funny that when I saw the title, I was like, "oh snap this is going to be super serious"

then I heard the sample and saw the source and was like, "oh snap this is going to be super hilarious"

and then the piano came in and it was kinda......both!

Haha what a sample, and great piano playing. Definitely an interesting juxtaposition, sorry for the rough week >.<

I know right? It's an amazing piece of software, I'm super impressed that it's totally free.
Also, thanks for the kind words!

Thank you so much Yeah, the week was thankfully less stressful! Not sure I was able to use it to make something better, tho hahahaha

Thank you so much!!! And I'm happy to report that the M8 is back up and running smooth as butter. Thanks for listening!!!

Thanks for the kindness Since I don't know how to play properly, I just use my right hand. And to cheat further, I sometimes turn on the "lock into key" feature, so even if I hit an out-of-key note, it gets transposed up or down to the nearest in-key note.
Again, thanks for listening!!!

Hahahaha piano buddies! I feel that Pianos will be heavily featured in my upcoming submissions. They've showed up in about 1/3 of mine so far. And thanks for the kind words! Thankfully, things have indeed gotten less stressful.

Thank you so much for the kind words!!! The good vibes worked, the week was indeed less stressful.

Thank you so much for listening and for commenting! Also, I'm happy to hear I've encouraged you to look at Vital. Like I mentioned up above to Napear, it's a super fun piece of software. It really encourages you to mess around and find cool sweetspots.

Thanks so much for listening! And for the honest feedback too. I feel that this one and "What is a yute" (my submission from last week) are some of my weakest work so far, mostly because of how repetitive they ended up. But I'm still hanging on, at least for now!!! Hahahaha...

Thank you thank you thank you, that's very sweet of you. I really appreciate it. I think I can say I play* the piano. The reader just has to find what the asterisk there means (*it means I can only kind of play one handed, and then make it sound decent after the fact using quantization and other modern cheat codes).

Thanks so much for listening!!! Yeah, I've been really enjoying taking vocal samples and making them musical by just repeating them ad nauseum, hahahaha....

Aaawww that's very kind of you to say!!! Hahahaha... Thank you so much for listening and commenting!

Thanks for the kind words! The good thing is that the crappy week is behind us! Hahahaha...

LOL I feel that almost half of my submissions are musical shit posting. Stuff that makes me laugh but also has some cool musical elements in there.
Anyways, thanks for listening!!!
