I released this song on YouTube. I thought I'd share it with you guys on NG.

OTG = "Off The Grid"; I drew all the notes and MIDI data in my software without using the grid snap feature. For more information on this concept, check out my video here.

In my case, like with nearly all my other songs, I didn't use any physical instruments, meaning no physical MIDI controllers, keyboards, knobs or faders; no live instruments I recorded. I only drew notes with virtual instruments using the PC keyboard and mouse.

I tried to create a song that fit the vibe of the piece. I attempted to incorporate elements of an urban environment that wasn't overcrowded, like a warehouse that's out of the way of the main tourist area of a city, while also creating a sense of motion, like something was happening within the picture that's literally more than meets the eye.

The image below is what what inspired me to write this piece. If I'm not mistaken, I took it between 2019 and pre-pandemic 2020:

I create YouTube videos where I screencap myself during the time I write music and speed up the footage. You can find a video like that for this song here:
