O avistamento do senhor sapo

O avistamento do senhor sapo
(The sighting of mister frog)

Mister Frog vanished without a trace back in week 25. We've all been wondering what happened, but this week, there's a glimmer of hope!

Inspired by this news, I dug through some old WB's and found a sample from the original song about Mister Frog's disappearance, that didn't get used. It felt like it had the perfect vibe for a follow up.
It's a half-tempo take on the original song. I reversed a section of the song and tuned it an octave lower. Then, I exported a stem of the drums and played them at half tempo. From this, I tried to recreate some of the sounds on the sample and built the idea around that.

Two more to go!!!! See you next week.

those reversed sections are fantastic. When that kick comes in at :38 hooooolllly shiiiiit it sounds so good. Love all that glitchy goodness going on. I'm cranking the hell out of this song, what a great mix. That kick sounds so good and snappy. This might be one of my all time favorites from you. Was this all on m8?

Thank you for your feedback. This is all M8. I later recorded the output to Ableton Live and did a quick mastering to get it louder as I usually mix pretty quiet on the m8.

O senhor sapo me parece ser uma figura um tanto quanto intensa!!! Hahahahahaha... This feels so ominous and intense, super cool! And awesome that you were able to recycle old material and use it to such great effect, this sounds great!!!

I love this kind of determined driving bass-y groove peppered with creative percussive elements.  It sounds like Mister Frog has gone on some Serious.™ Business.™ that involves sunglasses, hacking, kung-fu, or gunkata.

100% M8 club! 🍻

In the future there will be hydroponic farms that grow humans, this is the sound that plays
