Tanker

1. Sunday - Monday: Tried resynthesizing my deleted submission from last week to salvage composition/sound design ideas
2. Tuesday - Said screwit, this is too hard, put some of what i did so far into the sampler and did some stream-of-consciousness expressionist stuff @96BPM for fun
3. Wednesday - Said I guess this'll be my WB, added another little section and started another after that
4. Thursday - Saturday: Remembered the difficult thing about sampling which is how timbre affects pitch and really struggled to wrap it up even though the harmonies are bad anyway. And then added a piano coda at 71BPM.
5. Sunday: Redid the levels.

Whatever the outcome is, I don't know.

I like how the percussion weaves in and out. It sounds cool how the components of this song feel like they are all fighting for attention. It's tense and jarring in a captivating way.

Thanks for listening, Dan. My attention span is more geared towards juxtapoint than counterpoint, ha ha. In my head these musical phrases are all reacting to some unspecified "offscreen" action.

As far as busyness and changeups go, i am greatly influenced by the mid-2010s era of chip- and vapor-adjacent artists like Maxo, Dux Content, Graham Kartna, Meatbingo.

Also kinda baroque
