Falls

Been away for a few weeks with some rather pressing things, which sucks because I really wanted to stick to this for the year, but also it could be a lesson in not calling it quits at the first hurdle or something? Either way.

So this is very much just a random selection of lines I stuck together whilst trying to learn about modes as I have about as much musical theory knowledge as a brick and I'm trying to remedy that. Had to fix very sloppy playing on Ableton, messed around with different variations of stuff, then doubled the track and ran it fully wet through another reverb. Needs mixing and stuff but my kid likes it so that works for me!

As a side note - anyone have any recommendations for a good piano VST? Because this one is sounding very 2004 polyphonic ringtone.

Yeah keep at it! Been trying to get back into running recently and it almost feels harder trying to pick back up an old routine compared to starting from scratch. I don't really play piano but I have used a vst that I'm pretty sure was free from spitfire (maybe splice now) labs. Probably others would have much better suggestions but figured I'd chime in

Spitfire ones are brilliant!

And absolutely positively feel you with the harder picking back up compared to starting from scratch thing. It's probably because you know what you're in for, and you get punished in a way for stopping. But you also forget all the good that comes from/with it. I am a master at starting things, but actually continuing? Not so much.
