Third attempt at a Week 8 track, this one was started as I was at a local brewery waiting for a delicious Italian beef sandwich. I had the idea for the bassline and wanted to get it punched into the M8 as quickly as possible. There was also an inkling of arps. As things developed it started sound more to my ears like a space-themed track, so I leaned into "crisis at the science outpost" mode.
The sounds all went through some changes as I tried to get space (ha) carved out for everything, but the sharp, meowy lead took the most fiddling. As it got weirder, I started to like the bonkers noise it added to the track. This is one of the tracks where it was sketched out in the first 2 hours, and then I more than doubled the production time listening, tweaking, listening again... Trying to use RMR's rule, something like if you can listen through 5 times without wanting to tear it apart, it's done.
I probably won't want to tear it apart until tomorrow, so I'm calling it done.
