Very strong sound! I enjoyed the trip through cyberpunk imagery and futuristic dreamery
OOOooo nice, I love idm. That's a really cool progression with the arpeggiator, I especially like the spicy turnaround at the end of the phrase. The gradual evolution of the percussion is excellent and delightful ear candy, and I like how once the bass starts to take a prominent role it alters the chord centers of the main progression. By the end, when the final arp comes in and the drums go harder, it's super satisfying to hear it all come together. I really dig this.
You know that meme going around where the guy holds up his hand to a music theory book and says "I'm going to turn on the arpeggiator and hope for the best?" A while into this track, it crossed my mind that this is actually what getting the best out of an arpeggiator sounds like—and there's still a lot of "theory" in action in the sense that it's running through cool chord progressions, backed by a great bassline, and gets increasingly intense with sophisticated drums and rhythms). Sort of spoils the meme, though. (+fav)
@ineff
yes I have a tendency to overuse arpeggios, but I just think it is too much fun so I can't really stop!
