FTL stands for Friends (Trans and Lesbians)

Another weird one, but that will have to do. Very stream of consciousness.

Title in English this time!

This song started with a very simple idea, that was then sped up 4 times, giving the initial ostinato. Then chords, which I followed like a butterfly leaving the ostinato behind. A few tweaks here and there. A little play with the subdivision. Mixing. And that's a track!

In truth I had two other better songs in the works that I could have finished, but I wanted to give them more time.

It seems like every week I am baffled by the fact that I've been able to write the songs I wrote in the past, and lament at my inability to compose anything. And yet compositions happen. And it can only be me I mean who else? Wow. It's a strange feeling, feeling like every week is the end of my imagination and being proven wrong every time. The brain is a peculiar object.

Really like the chords in this - great voicing with an edge of grit. The progression of the aro was fun to follow, and was so satisfying the first time it started to deviate. The two lines played together well.

Totally get what you mean about composing. I’ve looked back on some tracks years later and was like…how did I do that? smile
