Going and Going and Going

Well hello, my fellow Weakly Beat Stars!!! Welcome back to this weird corner of the music-making internet!
I can't believe we've made it through 39 weeks!!! 75%!!! That means we're almost done!!!! I have the feeling that if I've made it this far, I'll most likely be able to survive to the finish line. Fingers crossed!!!!!
About 95% of this tune was put together on a bus ride from Austin to Houston. Throughout the weekend I was able to tweak it a little bit here and there and add some flavor to a couple of sections. However, in this process, I noticed that I inadvertently ripped off Sweedish House Mafia's "One" - specifically the little down-turn closer in my song's repeating motif sounds a lot like SMH's main melody. 100% accidental and I only noticed while sitting down to write this! Hahahahaha...
This whole song was made only using three tracks on the M8 Tracker, and all three tracks only use the WAVSYNTH synth engine.
I don't know why, but I'm really really happy with this one. It's just another chiptuny marching song, but I really like how this feels like it has a bite to it. And I'm strangely proud of the melodic line that kicks in at around 1:15. Nothing special, but it was just super fun to make. Short and fun! JUST LIKE ME!
Also, thanks so much for y'all's immensely kind comments on my last two submissions!!!!
Looking forward to hearing what you've been up to musically for this past week!
Later, peeps!!!!
PS: I'm back on my horse! I was able to make two independent submissions this week - one to Weekly Beats and another to the M8 Community Jam!!! Woohoo!!! You can check it out here.
