MALSANA

By mukti on February 25, 2024 6:28 pm

I came up with a little bass riff right after I was coming out of a sickness late this week, and built on it a bit. Some of the weird echoing theremin sounds are a bit out of place, but I think overall it kinda works. I know making a comparison to the ToeJam & Earl soundtrack is bold -- I'm not saying its anywhere near as good, just what was on my mind as I worked on the track!

As always, feedback is appreciated!

Since I was sick I used that as the track name; MALSANA, an Esperanto word that means unhealthy, ill, or sick. Going with a lot of MAL- words so far in my WeeklyBeats titles đź‘€.

Weird and funky, i really like this! that gif really suits this tune too haha

Funky vibes for sure. I like the energy that the synth brings on top of your bassline. Adding a snare in here could match the energy that the synth brings. Great job!

I'm feeling the funk, so I totally get the toe jam & earl connection. I dig how sparse the lead synth is, could imagine adding some delay or big reverb on a hit here and there to bring in a dubbed out feel. fun tune!

Groovy little bass, I can see this with a melody playing over it, but rather, it'd be cool to have some funny sound effects play.

Thanks! I tried to make the gif work using my limited gif-editing skills lol.

Thanks! Snare would have been good - I knew I was missing something, but I think I listened to it too much then never came back to add snare in, doh!

Thank you! That that's a great idea, didn't even think of that when I was playing around with effects on my m8.

Thanks! Sound effects would have been perfect - u kept thinking of things I could sample, but actually using effects from the game would have been great!
