I decided to fiddle a bit in FL studio, and keep it minimal. I was inspired a bit by those little toys you find online; you basically get a grid and you can click blocks in there, which then get played as notes, over and over. It has a very nice plucky sound, and it's that kind of sound I wanted to approach.

I also actually tried to make it sound as if it was made with one of these things, with a lot repeating over and over, in short patterns.

Not much else to say; I think it's a pretty "cute" sounding song. Let me know what you think.

Technical information:
I made this in FL studio 9, using only a synth called "The CS Piky", of which I can't seem to find a link at the moment. It's a very simple nice sounding little synth.

I got only 8 patterns in the playlist, not a single automation, and I used the delay effect on the master bus, as well as a subtle phaser on on the piky instances.(The one that comes in last and is rather high-pitched).

The song runs at 90 BPM and is in 4/4.

I worked on it for about and hour and 15 minutes.

I've been thinking about doing some nice breakbeats, but I got a bit lazy and decided it works as it is. :p

Glad you like it fellow Belgian dude ;)

Peaceful

I can see this used in a music video with some cats simply roaming around in a back yard or inside a house just playing with each other and discovering things. Also cats with metronomes are always funny to me anyways. This tune is peaceful and seems to have gone over quite well too!!

The piano and synth work together and create a wonderful main beat that make you feel happy. I can hear some light notes playing in the background which sound pretty. The harp playing here sounds great and I liked the partial bass parts that I could hear here as well.

Overall, funky fresh out of the audio portal and I love it!!

Mich responds:

Nice visuals you have for this little tune. I guess people are free to use it in their videos, so who knows ;)

Glad you think it all works nicely together. A little note though, all instruments are done with the same pluck synth, I didn't especially intend for them to sound like piano or harp or anything. :p

Thanks for the review!
