I managed to sprain my finger pretty badly because I feel up the stairs. While sleepwalking.

That will be the last time i try melatonin.

Anyway, we had a theme of ‘Bouncer’ and I decided to take it easy with some EDM that I think was almost entirely in-the-box with Logic’s stock plugins. Well, until I mastered it, then I used all my toys because the mix was already terrible and the clock was ticking. It’s over in Techno.

I was in an odd mood so I made odd stuff. I just wanted to experiment with some effects that have always tempted me but I hadn’t tried. We have a theme of Leftovers and it got strange. And then it got incredibly crappy and i had to do all kinds of things to try and make it sound cohesive and that introduced new issues… anyway it’s over in Experimental.

I wasn’t feeling great a couple weeks ago and then last weekend was Father’s day so I haven’t touched anything but the clarinet in weeks. I did not play the clarinet on this track, i played all the instruments i’d been ignoring. In an unusual move, I started with the drums. Which had the great effect of ramping up the tempo through the whole song. And that was me trying to play to a click!

The theme was Camping and I made something over in Punk.

…we produce garbage. The theme was Denial. I started off with this idea of using synth bass to get my track going. And I guess it was denial that i didn’t scrap it and start over. i tried to save it with delays and reverbs.

But did it ever really leave?

Sticking to Room A for awhile, I decided to play with the vocaloids a bit since it had been a minute. Bit rusty but that’s what I get for not using it for so long. The theme was had was ‘Exile’ and it’s where you would expect to find it.
