18 Weekly Beats 2024 Finally Home

By thgirwnhoj on May 5, 2024 6:25 pm

I set this project at 126 BPM when I started, but after I played out some melodies and added percussion with basic kick and rimshot sounds, I realized everything was in half time. So, while I did not intend to create a downtempo track, that is what I ended up with. I composed everything on my Push 2 and I find that I am more likely to create clips of irregular lengths when I am not looking at a computer screen. I really like how some of the electric piano parts came together in that way.

Beautiful work! My favorite part might be in the A section where a synth line in the right channel is tugging at the tempo, while there's half-time openness everywhere else. I really like the syncopation throughout, as well.

Love the kind of muted/mellow feeling of the drums and electric piano together. The section starting at 1:00 is so sweet. I really dig how the different melodic parts work together later in the track, definitely feels like a "build" without compromising the chill vibes.

Building while chilling sums up what I'm going for! And I think I could listen to just drums and electric piano all day. I just love it. Thank you so much for listening and commenting!
