BLOKO

By mukti on April 7, 2024 4:00 pm

I've had a creative block this week as I've dealt with more things related to moving, so I ended up working on a track I started a few weeks back. Its a bit repetitive and short, like some of my other tracks. I think I could have probably expanded a bit more and built it into something better, but I don't think the end result is completely terrible. I may come back in a later week to try and build this into a more full song.

I don't have a clever story for this track name - because of my creative block, I named it using the Esperanto word for block, bloko.

When I was in Boston a couple weeks back, I took a picture of a shipping crate owned by the shipping company that blocked the Suez Canal in 2021. Given my creative block, I thought it was fitting.

Glad you're working through your writer's block. I hope you'll get inspired soon!

And this track is indeed "not completely terrible", haha big_smile I enjoy the riff against the vocal shouts, it works well.

Thanks! I definitely liked it more after adding the vocal, particularly the bit around 1:15. I'm trying to get a bit better and figuring out how to use vocal samples in my tracks too, so I'm glad it worked!
