Started by recording samples of Japanese dialogue, then imported them into the SP404 where I edited them further to get harmonious pitches along with some time stretching. My partner and I have been watching a lot of anime recently and I've been loving how bouncy and rhythmic the Japanese language is.

Then I came up with a little sketch on the M8 and just used the pads on the 404 to jam with the sample chops. Being able to jam with the pads has been so fun and inspiring. Then I recorded those samples into the M8 where I sequenced and composed everything. I played some ukulele as well. Sampled my Hydrasynth for some synth sounds.

I took all the stems from the M8 into Logic where I did some mastering, made minor edits, and added a few effects in some places to add more depth. I'm really proud of this one and am happy I got to spend a good amount of time with it to get everything polished.

I mean, I say it every week but those chops! whew, fire! Super fun upbeat track. I need to take note and make transitions like you. Love the bridge section that starts at 1:35. Cool little bass effect at 3:15.๐Ÿ™Œ

That opening is so fucking cool. Holy cow this track is just vibes all day. The sample chopping, the constant transition and flow. This is just flawless, I am in awe.

Wow. This is such a huge song. There is so much to try to listen to and so many cool sections that you lead us through! Really awesome. I usually type comments as I'm listening, but I had to stop and just listen. Super fun. Really engaging!

Like SQF, I too have told you a few times before, your vocal chops never fail to impress me!
Great track as always!

Crisp and cool. Very much vibing with what you accomplished here. big_smile

what a vibe! this is sample chopping at its best

fave'd!
chopping is impeccable, all of it just flows and tumbles over itself in such a delightful way.  heart

Agreed all the above, the sample flips here are legit.  And your drums and percs (as always) are just amazing.  You always do such a great job of stringing a balance between repetition and solidly established rhythm and randomizations on percs to keep everything lively and interesting. 

tight af and such a nice flow *chefskiss*
