I tried to do another composition on the M8 this week, ended up feeling pretty uninspired and a bit frustrated when I was trying to wrap it up yesterday. Rather than pushing through, I did a quick noodle on synth running through my modular FX chain and dubbed a sax improv on top of that.

The synth is basically just a sine wave and then gets overdriven as it's routed into the delay and granular FX.

This isn't pushing me to work more on arrangement as I intended, but it sounds more like me so I dig that!

Hope y'all are doing well and staying safe out there.

That sounded beautiful !

This is the sound of Kenny G putting all his money into BTC at 125K and then looking at his balance in November.

Sweet. Very calm and relaxing, such a beautiful little moment. Don't worry that it isn't a complex arrangement or dense with layers. There's a lot of heart in it and it sounds absolutely perfect the way it is heart

Sometimes we think the time spent has less value, but it connects nonetheless.
With those across the globe, those unknown.
Dismissive creativity reimagined.

Beautiful! Wasn't expecting that sax. The sound is so beautiful!

The comforting sounds of safety.

smile indeed!

Brilliant! Glad I caught it a week later hehe. This mirrored my process for week 3 where I also went slower. Man it's almost like cheating having that sexy sax, anything just gets 1000x better. However kudos for the production too, the sound design is really nice and takes you places, love the acoustic + digital combination where both retain their essence.

nice! I gotta check out your week 3 then! haha, I do love the sound of sax too, but I'm obviously biased. the kinda vocal quality it has brings a lot of character. glad you appreciate the combo! I'm a big fan too, I think there's a lot worth exploring in the crossover
