Microcassette / Simplify Instrumentation / Use a Reference

Back to Basics

I'm going back to the prime of my solo music endeavor and the life changing lessons I learned on my first weekly beats challenge back in 2018

What I learned / reinforced:
-simplify instrumentation
-use my old ableton template
-parallel process with microcassette
-use a reference (my old tracks, Bibio, Grouper, etc)
-don't be obsessed with learning a new style or improving my drums and texture game - hone my skills within this style

I am a big lover of lofi combined with sensitive tones. This is what I get from this. Beautiful.

this is really pretty, thank you. i like that you are parallel processing to microcassette!
*also a Grouper fan smile

Wonderful. Love all the atmosphere happening around this! More of this please heart

Love this one. Really great atmosphere and guitar sound. heart

it's so fun reading the prompts & self challenges & seeing all the folks who've been working at this craft for years now grow & change 

josh & i have been talking a lot this week about art & simplicity & how to achieve a simple track - it can so quickly complicate - this track is really lovely!

Lovely little ditty with nice textures about.
