This one was a bit of a struggle, could have used more time in the oven but here we are! I went in aiming to do an early mount kimbie organic garage type thing but of course the end result is totally different. Started by making a drumkit out of snippets of field recordings, then looped a chunk of a synth recording which became the main chord bed. The 'lead' is a recording of a humming wine glass, it triggers at a new section of the loop each time which brings out some nice unpredictable texture. A different slice of the chord sample leads to the B section.

There are so many amazing sounds that are tickling my brain. What a wonderful pace to it all, too. Right off the bat it was good, and it stayed a joy to listen to all the way through.

Great sound design overall and a really cool track! Congrats!

Oh my those tremolos are amazing, they go beautifully with the sliding notes in the chords.
Love the thick slow portamento bass too. Percussion is nice and light, got my head boppin.

Really like this! Love the quirky percussion and the little melody from the top line of the chord loop. Just cool sounds all over the place and great flowing vibe.
