Pretty Face
By tarsiidea on December 26, 2024 6:10 am
A synthpop song this week, which started off with a bassline on my Moog Grandmother and playing around with an SP1200 emulation for the drums. It had a dark vibe so I leant into that, playing around with distortion on my vocals (which suited my voice better than expected, I'm gonna try effects like that more in the future). I also had a go at layering a bunch a guitar parts to build a swirly, pulsing vibe over the moog bassline.
The song is inspired by a reddit post on struggling with the expectations of having a pretty face and all the preconceptions those around them placed on the OP, while totally disregarding their personality. And when those people did get to know the OP better, they rejected them as they no longer matched the ideal they'd built in their head.
