Rollercoaster Slow Ride

This track started out with me trying to come up with something on the acoustic piano again (this year's it's been mostly Pianoteq). But after recording just a few notes I started adding Absynth bass and synth. Then some more acoustic piano, and Pianoteq. Then adding effects to make some of the piano parts sound more like guitar parts. Drums from the Volca and some more Absynth sounds.

As I was doing the final mix I realized that this probably could have benefitted from having more of a song structure. Given more time it would have been worth exploring.

Piano and steady percussion set a good mood. Loving the ambience and buildup.

The production on this is really ace.

It could have had more structure, but as it stands it is more of this atmospheric build up. That fake piano-guitar is absolutely wonderful! Very clever. Would not have known it was piano, had you not mentioned it. I want to try that now! A little tremolo and distortion/saturation?
