This is another upbeat song featuring chopped samples, but the BPM comes down considerably this week to 105. I recall setting up the project in the 140s, bringing it down into the 130s as I started working on it, then eventually finding a groove I liked when I brought the metronome way down to 105. When I go back and listen to tracks I created in years past, I notice that I used to work in tempos hovering around 100 quite often. I am not sure what to make of that and what it means for what type of musician I am, but either way, I am happy to keep flipping back and forth between faster and slower tempos while I figure it out.

The song follows an A-B-A-B pattern created after all the parts were initially put together in Ableton’s Session View. Part A’s bassline and the vocal samples are what I like the most when I was at that stage of composing. I like where Part B ended up and I find it intriguing, but it is one of those parts that I wish I had more time to explore.
