Day 3 of Jamuary! (I hope nobody's gonna be tired of that)


Today was just a little meh - pretty gloomy outside and very quiet, so I decided to keep it a little on the short side. (Plus, I sort of sat on this and goofed off for a while, but no matter) Despite this, I still wanted to experiment and try something new, at least for me. On the bright side, no cheesy 90s sample pack vocals in this one! In fact, I actually dug around some old sample packs I forgot I even had (shown with the piano and chimes in the latter half, and the percussion overall), which led to the right textures I wanted. The loop itself was of my own creation, then pitched down and chopped up as per the usual lofi shebang. (Hopefully I tagged the genre right as well)


As always, hope you enjoy! See you tomorrow!

This was a beautiful piece here some good soothing sounds you have here I like the energy level of this really soothing sound on this one

~X~

nice chill song could be good for a game

I feel like you also managed to convey some of that environment around you in this song. There's an engrossing gloominess present in that main melody.

I don't really know how to say this without it sounding insulting, but music is able to capture any emotion and present it in a way that feels entertaining, regardless of the emotion. And this song kinda captures boredom for me. It's not boring, it's in fact a very chill tune! But it captures this image for me of just sitting around in the midst of a dark cloudy day, wondering if I should be somewhere else. It is picturesque, even if that picture isn't a wholly positive one. I so rarely encounter songs that do this to me that I just had to talk about it. Hopefully I explained it well. Great work!

vividlance responds:

You didn't sound insulting at all, I'm glad that sorta meh/bored feeling came through in the track! I think that feeling is super underrated, and while I think a lot of songs express this feeling - it's hard to get it right or in a way that really lives an impression.

I'm really glad you liked it! In retrospect, I probably could've looped both sections another 4 bars but ultimately decided to just upload it anyway. I can definitely say making this helped shake off some bad vibes.
