Meowahtoa - Tech City

By ViridianLoom on April 24, 2022 4:17 pm

This week has just been one of those weeks where I'm not necessarily tired, or stressed, or I have a migraine that makes it hard to focus, I'm just bored. The worst affliction, lol.

Kept picking up various instruments and trying to come up with something and nothing really gave me any enthusiasm. Spent most of my creative time this week just watching videos on how to get certain bass tones and then learning to play songs from music I've been enjoying quite a bit in that hopes that those cool songs and ideas might find their way into my musical vocabulary at some point.

Anyways, because I couldn't come up with anything, I defaulted to the ol' back catalog of reaper projects and dug around until I found something I could slap together really quickly with a beat, some clean up, and a zantilla-esqe synth solo.

Funny note, I recall in the original reaper project for this song idea was some samples of cat meows and I do believe they were samples created by ipaghost, haha. The project existed prior to a computer crash in 2020 so I lost whatever the samples were.

I really dig this track! It has a nice groove and the arpeggiated synths create a nice dark ambience. Digging the title as well. I will definitely be listening to this one more this week. Oh also I really like the rhythm in the melody at 0:55. It's got a nice bouncy feel

Really dug the slow arp melody panning side to side in the intro. That whole rising feel of that part is sublime. Meow. Unexpected ending. Worthy idea for a longer track, IMO.

oh, what happened to the cat samples? anyways, we all have tiring weeks, I had my fair share just this year alone, its alright, really nice vibes you got there regardless! smile

Fun track, I dig the ambiance of this one. Like mentioned already, the arpegiated panned synths gives a cool movement to the sound.

Awww, that's a shame, the samples are still on freesound

Cool drum patterns and variations. Bring back the cat!

Good luck for us you came up with this old project. I like the variations you made on the arp synths. Still the track has a rockish vibe, mainly coming from the drums or the dark basssynth. The solo is nice and fits perfectly into the song. I wonder where the meows whould have occured in the track.

Boredom is one of the most painful feelings IMO. Weeks like this are the hardest for me. You released a dope track though! Look at that as a positive smile

The ping ponging arp is a really nice touch, especially against the dark chord progression of the bass.

shoutouts to IPAAAAAAAA

love the bass progression when it starts climbing at :46.  You are so good with those chord/riffs that surprise me.  great kick drums (is that LinnDrum?) and nice surprise "time is running out on this level" ending!



....that's prog baby.
