It's Been a Week

Holy moly, it's been a week, y'all.
After a NINE DAY LONG power outage in my place in Houston due to hurricane Beryl, our lights were finally restored on Wednesday. I spent most of that time in a hotel in Waco. Since we didn't know when the power would get turned on, we were extending our stay at the hotel one day at a time. However, one day, they just jacked up the daily price 50% for no reason. After that, a very good friend offered us their vacant house in Austin since they were away visiting family in California.
I don't know what I've done in life to deserve this, but I am immensely lucky to know people like these.
Anyways, I finally got back home on Thursday night to find the grossest fridge I've ever had to deal with.
So yeah, it's been a week.
Oh snap, this isn't just a blog/diary - I'm supposed to talk about the track I made!
Given all that's gone on these past few days, I've felt super scattered and not too creative. So I put this song together in the final 2.5h before submittal time on Sunday. The vocal samples are all my own voice recorded directly onto the M8. And, if I remember correctly, all the non-vocal sounds are the M8's internal synths that I built up from scratch.
This started as a super low effort song, but I started to have a lot of fun during the last part where the vocal samples kick in. But due to the deadline, I just had to wrap it up and send it in before I felt I was done.
Given everything that was going on this week, I'm proud I was even able to get anything made in the first place.
Hoping y'all had a great week!!!
