Week 14 – Moonlight Dreams

This time I wanted to make a pop song. This one has lyrics and vocals too, but not in this version. I need to find a singer to collab with or wait until I become a better singer.

Week 9 – Shining Beacon

This track knew what it wanted to be from the very beginning, the idea had all the parts compressed in a 20 second idea and I just needed to expand it and arrange it to make it happen.

Week 8 – Step Up

This one started as a jam session on Korg Gadget. I really liked the bassline and then added complementary elements to reinforce the confident attitude of this beat.

Week 7 – Origin Story

I really like Korg Gadget, it’s a fun way to put down quick ideas with powerful and varied synths. I usually don’t feel the need to change the sounds once I export the project to Ableton. This track started as a jam session on Gadget and it wanted to be a happy but melancholic old school hip hop beat.

Week 6 – Bear Cave

This one started from a jam session on GarageBand for iPad. It’s a shame that it’s such a pain to export projects from there to other DAWs because it’s a nice tool for idea generation. I found this growling sample and the atmosphere made me think of a cave with a wild animal inside, getting closer and closer…

Week 5 – Skin Crawler

This creepy drum & bass track started from a jam session on GarageBand for iPad. I found this repeating percussion that made me think about insects crawling and skittering around, then looking for vocal samples I found a weird one that was just a person saying “skin” and it fit the crawling insect imagery.
