Stained Glass Shattering

Turning this one in a bit "early" today (two hours before submission haha). I wanted to change things up a little bit since I've been doing VGM oriented music for the past few weeks. Something that's been a little cumbersome is that I prefer to use the Korg Collection suite but I still only own the demo and its been kind of a pain in the ass to write entire songs around the 20 minute timeout intervals. Essentially making it not fun to write music, hopefully it goes on sale with this up coming black friday.
So this song is something that I wrote a while back into Guitar Pro but I've never actually recorded it so I figured I'd do that this week. One of the challenges with recording stuff that I already wrote is that I'm used to THINKING that certain stuff sounds good in my mind but then when I record it I can't tell if I recorded the part wrong (timbre-wise) or if the idea is actually shit. So this whole song is kind of hit or miss I suppose, and probably something I'll revisit and release as a more complete track eventually. I wanted to try to work in some additional instrumentation but I don't know if I want to use synths, horns, strings, etc. And then I also wanted to do some growled vocals and singing but I don't have the slightest idea at the moment how I want them to sound and I don't have lyrics prepared. I've been doing that thing where I work on it for like 20-30, take a break, come back and try new ideas, take a break, erase those ideas because they weren't that good, etc. So for the purposes of a weekly beat it has a start, middle, and end so I'm submitting as is before it gets even more convoluted with bad ideas haha.
