Life is Like a Water Level

By theemeraldruby on February 25, 2024 2:47 am

WEEK 4 of SAMPLE CLUB!

Look, I'm not going to lie, it was tricky sticking to the newness of working with samples when my time was limited and my patience was non existent, but I'm glad I stuck with it.

This week's track came together super fast because I found a solid M8/Sample workflow. This was particularly good, because like many water levels in games, my air levels (time/patience/capacity) were flashing "come up for air"

Samples:
1) Rain Stick
2) Xylophone (Main Synth-y Sound)
3) Quena (Pad)
4) Fish (My cat) eating a mic (Snare)
5) Footsteps (Bass Drum)
6) Flicking Paper Cranes with my fingernails (High Hat)

god damn, this sounds exquisite! has early aphex twin vibes w/ the clicky drums & lush pads & sweet intricate percussive melodies. love the way you made that xylophone bark!

I am SOOOOOO digging this!!! Sample club is CLEARLY paying off!!! The main melody with the xylophone is GREAT, and all the percussive elements are really snappy. Fantastic work!!!

Very nice atmosphere. Could really imagine this as the soundtrack for a video game as you go underwater and the water level comes on. Super cool!

Nicely done. Beautiful delays on the elements. Happy you took a bit of time to cook us this fun track. Beat is on point too, very groovy I especially like the subtle "hi hats" line. (paper for the win.)

these pieces feel so intuitive and musical. really cool to hear them coming together
