It's been a really long week, and I'm drained for now. I had to make do with remixing/rewriting cuts from an unreleased tune from a few months back. I wound up writing a really long synth line and recording a sort of chant, with a bunch of other edits and all transposed into a key inspired by a jam with my 8 year old niece. I hope it sounds good.

So many colors here.

There's some really nice dist going on here, is it a plugin or are you using a pedal? I like the texture it is bringing!

lovely chill vibes that match your profile image. Awesome that you can jam with your niece smile Hope she had fun! Did she like the final track?

I lost this comment because I reuploaded it! I wonder if quotes still give someone a mention...hmmm...let's find out? She sure did have fun and I told her I'll use something from our jam at some point this year. I was poking around the project file from that sess and found some interesting piano roll in C#, so when I was short on time this week from all the bad news and stressing, I pulled out an unreleased incomplete tune and, inspired, transposed it to C# among a host of edits and new material. It's unrecognizable from the tune it was before and hopefully she'll like it (she's only recently discovered I'm a musician). Something else from that jam will probably end up in a future piece, or maybe new jams. Love my niece.
