Days Gone

I hardly had time this week due to an especially busy period at work, combined with kids being ill.

I took something I had been working on a long time ago and only added a variation of the melody to turn it into a somewhat complete track.

This track started with me just playing around with some of the reverb parameters on the m8. I didn't really do anything special in terms of reverb here, but the building blocks for the track emerged in the process. The drums are from a loop that I created in BFD3. I think my original intention was to process the drums to use them for a faster-paced breakbeat-style track. However, they also kinda work as is in this track.

This sounds like what my early childhood felt like - I LOVE this! You layer everything so tastefully throughout, and you've got a few really awesome build ups, like before the drums come in. This feel like it's got some new age at it's core, and it's totally my jam. I hope the kids feel better and work calms down soon!

Love it! Feels like taking a little side-quest on a warm spring day.
Love the heavy stereo delay accents. Also that lead sounds awesome drowned in reverb.
Very clean mix, awesome work!

Very pleasant song.

Thank you! If I remember correctly, this experiment of mine may have actually started when I was listening to an album of yours on Bandcamp. I tried to find it just now, but couldn't find it back? I think it was one where the cover art was a kind of cyberpunk-esque mountain view? Anyway, the tracks on that had such a good sense of space to them that inspired me to play with the reverb settings on the m8.

Thank you! Yeah, I was quite happy with how that lead turned out!

Oh wow, thank you! Yeah that is my album Pattern. I removed any artwork from Bandcamp where I'd originally used GenAI (I've learned more and just no longer felt comfortable, so I took it all down). I replaced it with generic images I made with the album titles, but I realize that might have made it harder to find something again, whoops lol tongue

I really appreciate that - glad you were inspired to make something so awesome! heart

This one is like a breath of fresh air. The lead synth in the beginning has a nice phase/filter on it. And the main drum sequence with the delay on the keys? Yes please.

Like a nice meaty sandwich with some expensive cheese.
