MOMENTS

This week I started early and sampled a few things into the M8 from the Hydrasynth. I was pretty pleased with the pieces, but struggled to get them arranged in a way that was musically interesting. As a result, things stagnated until Saturday evening when I managed to get something that kinda worked.

Sunday afternoon, I tweaked and worked in a few transitions and some Old School Vocals to try to make it "a song" ... and here's the result.

This week I also tried to work in to ambience with a Lemondrop, but only scratched the surface with this. Maybe I'd do some more with this in future weeks.

These past few weeks I've been seeing the benefit of having a deadline. I don't think this track would have been completed without this evening's deadline. It doesn't feel nice, but it works!

The deadline and the push to keep creating something new every week are both helping me immensely as well! It might not be awesome, but it's done, and there's nothing stopping us from revisiting them and polishing them up. I love the dark feel of this track. There's some Boards of Canada vibes with a touch of Sinoia Caves and something I can't quite place. Very beautiful and ominous!

Thanks so much! Yeah, I went for some tape-ish sounds with this one and it had that BoC feel for sure. I hope to revisit a few of the tracks and polish them up a bit or use them as seeds for new songs down the road. For now, I'm trying to learn where to spend my time get something started and then to get something completed. Fun times!
