Evaporating Rain

So with the exception of Microtonic for the drums (it's just a faster way to generate some drum beats, a skill that still doesn't come naturally to me) I wrote this entirely with Synth1. Mostly as a demonstration for a friend who's interested in getting into making music for weeklybeats at some point, because I know the feeling of spending a lot of money on software can be intimidating.
My musical focus for this last week has mostly been working on my bass playing. Been really into an artist called McBaise who is just, ugh, so fucking good. His basslines are killer, and I've been listening to his tunes and trying to closely replicate (sloppy progress update) the way he's playing so I could hopefully absorb some of his stylings and integrate them into my own music. They say a lot of the tone is in the fingers for bass playing so I've been experimenting with palm muting, using only my thumb to pluck, and trying to really dig my fingers in deeper when hitting the strings. There's also his phrasing, he manages to keep the bassline grounded while seamlessly blending in little melodic improvisations. There's just so much I'm interested in learning from his music. Anyways, I've been so focused on technique that I haven't really cared to write anything so I came up with this idea pretty quickly last night and did a fast mix. I haven't even listened to it really since exporting, so here's the hoping it didn't sound bad.
