now not yesterday

By miraclemiles on September 8, 2024 11:59 pm

Gentle listener, a gentle bop. Created with sounds from a jam with band buddy Monstrosus last night. Made up some words to add to this today, and reminded myself that I'm grateful for taking some actions now. Putting the fear in a wee gentle box, and saying chill there for now, annoying friend. Then doing the things. No better time, just getting older. It feels literal now. Procrastinated enough years, now's the time. Easier said than done perhaps. But it gets easier to do as well.

Love the off-kilter toy sounds and strings!

Taking all the scary steps gets easier. We only get one life but there's plenty of time to make it a good one smile

In love with those tiny plucks. So cute and relaxing! And the entire feel of the track is just gentle flow. I like it a lot.

Cheers for the uplifting message in the description, too!

Chills, such wonderful gentle sounds but also beautifully weird with rough but soft edges.

yes, this is wonderful and inspiring  heart

Chills, that's awesome! Thank you, I love this description so much: "beautifully weird with rough but soft edges"

Ahhh, thanks, so happy you felt that!

Clicky glitchy and delightful. Really nice open and playful stereo space too, wonderful little moment there, thank you heart

lots of great textures here, the loose drums really provide some nice glue as odd as saying that in a sentence may seem.

I like how it feels off-kilter, but also just right.  The vocal effect is really cool, too.

Love the bassy feel and groove throughout this.  Like I'm sitting in on a drum circle smile excellent intro/outro with that organy sound.

Such joyous sounds, like how the sounds are gentle but you have a way of bringing out a little distortion and glitch from them, just makes everything just a little more special.

Glad you enjoyed, thanks for comment! I love that you said playful stereo space, that's great!

Thank you! I like that - loose drums as glue, that's a great observation, it does seem odd at first hearing that, but spot on I think.

Ha, yes, there is some off kilter-ness for sure! That stuttery vocal effect from the Circuit Rhythm, have fun with those.

Yes! Glad you felt that! I'm still thinking its hard to take some leaps, but still thinking it gets easier too.

Glad you felt that bassy feel, tried to get some bass through! I love the idea of sitting in on a drum circle, but with some plucky synth, mallety sounds too. I want to find that place! Thank you.

Right on thank you! I appreciate the description of joyous so much! Yeah I did some things to add some distortion and glitch, glad you liked that addition!

This has a fun grove to it.  Kind of has a Simone the Magpie vibe to it, in the best way.
