Awesome song!
A throwaway from 2021, exactly two years ago today.
Might find some use for it one day !
Has 3 (or 4 if you count the intro) sections
I wanted the listener to become "addicted" to the rhythm : bass, melodies, drums etc.
Implemented a key switch along with a gliding synth solo to spice things up
Fun fact : the intro was made on a tracker, it's a transcription of the main melody, using low quality Wavestation samples
Observations : it's obviously an 80s styled piece, and I constrained myself withing the confines of that space. There's only 4 audio channels playing, I've used authentic 80s gear (as in samples and VSTs), and even used an analog compressor for the final sound, re-recorded through my audio interface.
For the songwriting process : honestly I was just jamming, for this record I started off with a heavy syncopated bass rhythm before building off of it. It gave me some strong dance-pop/freestyle vibes, especially from Miami, and in 2016-2018 I used to listen to tons of Exposé, Stevie B, Lisa Lisa and so on, so I was familiar with that genre.
I love staccated synth brass, it gives that spontaneous feel, like telling your body to cut and move through the tempo, and the main melody is supposed to accompany that. The orchestra hit samples are pretty much a staple in that domain, I had to add them to notify changes in sections, a precursor to risers if you will.
The outro is pretty much techno.
In conclusion it's a pretty bass and drum-driven track, the other elements are the seasoning !
Awesome song!
Thanks !
Great song! The 1st/2nd part reminds me of Waterflame's Geometrical Dominator
Thank you =]
Yooooo this is fuckin SICK. Very late 80s demo track vibes, which I live for. Good job homie.
Thank you so much !!!
I'll upload the tracker version one day ! It took me almost two years to master protracker, it's more programming than writing music 😆
Please contact me if you would like to use this in a project. We can discuss the details.
