This is a great jam! Sorry to hear about the work stressors tho, I know the feeling of not feeling supported by the people demanding things of you.

It could definitely do with a little more discipline. Right now the synth and piano are working against each other rather than with.

The squelchy synth with mellower piano creates atmosphere for lack of a better descriptive word. They work off each other well. The contrast somehow fits in with the work discussion. Creates tension with two attitudes at odds. but but but, don't take away my over hyped "analog" word.  Just take away the descriptions "fat" or "warm" that have become synonymous with analog but can be created digitally or virtual analog.

I really enjoyed the track and the mood.  Good luck with work, don't let the bastards get you down! Let it roll off like water on a ducks back.

I'm thinking of the conflict between synth and piano as adding a psychological (work-related) component. Sad, but all too common.

Thanks a lot Scottux. It's sad to see that it's not an uncommon situation in the workplace. I'll be catching up with the rest of your releases very soon

Thanks for the advice, Devieus. maybe later in the year I could revisit the idea, though now frankly I don't know how to further develop it. Anyway, A few edits over the initial improv and a shorter version could maybe help it.

Glad you like it, MWSPR. I felt it worked somewhat emotionally, rather that being a remarkable composition. And yes, my point was also showing that warm and fat could be created with virtual equipment, so your description is quite on point

Thanks a lot for the good vibes. I love what I do for living, but sometimes I hate some people in charge who definetely don't care about our job. I'll try to be a happy dry duck

Oh, yeah, definetely. As I commented earlier, it's not an unusual situation. I felt like doing a "conflicting" piece outside my usual confort zone. Thanks as always for dropping by and commenting, Jim!

I find this really interesting but maybe more as "sound experiment" than "song" - There are some moments where it really comes together in a very sensible way, then others where they are just two unrelated tracks running at the same time.  I feel this way about a lot of Autechre tracks   This is kind of like the two sides of Aphex, beautiful piano vs. acid raver.  Really enjoyed the slowdown ending.

Actually, I think you just said it yourself!  This track is Conflict Avoider Vs. Conflict Seeker.

I'd love to watch your videos!  Particularly tutorials on "How To Be Godlike Like Me" and "How To Improve Orange Drink Tracks So They Don't Suck"

Hahaha Thank you very much, man! You give me too much credit And I don't think your tracks suck in any way. You've released some pretty dope hip hop fat-sounding joints this year so far.

I'd love to start producing Youtube videos, though I'm quite hessitant of being in front of the camera. I hope to be able to show some videos soon

In the meantime, cheers to you man!
