That intro is incredible.

That intro is incredible. :heart:

very wide range of sounds yet they all are unmistakably in your style - the intro is amazing and the switchups keep it interesting.   I always like to eat tacos after I'm done with the nachos i ate after i ate my tacos

Bumped this in my car, the intro sounds uniquely retro / lofi somehow. The beaty bits made me go "oh yeah classic wangus" -- really love your take on funk rhythm guitar that sounds like vocal chops (but I don't think they are).

An old friend of mine once told me that when a bell resonates, the way the bell moves is all sorts of three-dimensional in ways that strings and membranes don't  -- given the complexity of the resonating pattern, he said, hearing a bell from two different points in space is hearing two different sounds. Although since then I found out this applies to most acoustic phenomena (guitar bodies are also weird), I do think it's pretty inspiring to think about all the different ways in which a bell moves about to create its weird combo of harmonic / inharmonic overtones. Sorry, that's just a long version of saying "yeah, man, bell tones are super weird, I agree."

thank you for the notes!

double comment squad:

whoa, this is really cool!  u already sold me on the title though. 

loving the speed variations CRANK DAT WANGUS BOI

fun how it turned into a BOP at the half. 

2:14 arpeggio (reprise from the intro?) is amazzzzzzing can't believe how shocking it was.

THE REVEAL AT THE END

mildly frustrating sometimes how sometimes the best moments take the least effort to create (and conversely the timesinks fall short).  the intro was pretty impromptu, some off-the-cuff harmonies sequenced in, a couple takes before i liked the live tempo twiddling, and then a few layers of bell-like tones to taste.

classic TNT

neat, i wasn't thinking of them like that.  to me, they're an echo of the last two notes of the little riff in that section.  the almost-vocal-tone comes from random modulation of the OP-1 DRWAVE engine.  it's like a wacky version of M8's wavesynth.  two parameters simultaneously sweep through waveform, harmonics/filter, and coarse/steppy-ness, one parameter is like M8's MUL and WARP combined, and the last is the depth of a chorus-y effect.

funny how our brains parse that nonsense out as vowels.  also funny how our brains can take in literally any stupid combo of inharmonic over/undertones like a bell, and just accept "ok yeah that's definitely one note".

single response squad, i'm too stressed to timely respond to things.

you reminded me that I'm not using enough CRANK.  i need to see if i still have the crank knob attachment i 3D printed like 8 years ago.

indeed, the 2:14 arp (and the chords that precede it) mirror the intro.  the age-old technique of secretly-just-reuse-the-same-content-so-you-don't-have-to-invent-more-new-things.
the OP-1 keyboard is SO good for big stupid glissandos, and it really leads the energy of that segment i think (manic arps just supporting actors)

and LMAO it took a sec to remember the "reveal" i put at the end
