This is great
Nice fills and an extremely cute lead

Haha I'm so sorry if it felt like false modesty but I was in a rough headspace this week not being able to start until saturday and I really did this in a very bad mental condition. I hated it up until 30min before the deadline when I changed the whole drum section and it finally felt better but with a bad aftertaste. Thank you very much for your kind compliments, it means a lot to me !!

Pizza and 4am go together like piano and strings. A great combo if ever there was one.

Oh wow. Lovely and lush…and then becomes an absolute bop…all in 11:8 time.

What wizardry is this? Fantastic work!

Yeah absolutely ! When I got to the moment I had to add stuff to my piano riff strings came so naturally ! I have to learn how to play with those a bit more, that's another level of creation !!

Thank you so much ! I'd say the wizardry whispering to my ear was lady luck ! Props to her :DD

Great job! You did a really smooth 11/8, I really dig that. Lead synth was maybe bit too piercing? Loud? But it's a nitpick, great entry!

I think you did well with 11/8! Honestly, the hardest thing I often struggle with when writing in odd time signatures is creating a smooth feel with the drums that compliments the arrangement, which usually involves creating a strong pull to certain beats so listeners feel anchored somewhere. But it doesn't always have to be the drums. For example, I think the orchestral punctuation you wrote are a good example of that anchoring, which allowed your drum writing to shift hits around in interesting ways. Great job this week!
Also I started noticing the trend in song titles, haha. Can't wait to see what the titles are looking like by, say, week 30 😉

Thank you so much ! I see what you mean but I kinda wanted the lead to be that way, piercing through all the delay and echo. Maybe it's a bit overtune tho haha

Yeah it was SO HARD making drums for this time signature ? But also kind of fun in a way ? (At least after a night of sleep it was kind of fun !). But I see what you mean about anchoring the rythm in any way, I think that's a great learn, and that makes me even more eager to do more wierd time signature stuff ! Thank you very much !

Yeaaaah I got the titles idea on the first week and was kinda hyped by it, but for sure I'll regret it at some point hahahaha
