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.

I decided to try and power through the difficulties I had up here and quickly remembered why I stopped using this room. I think this computer is on its last legs. Or it was fine but software updates mostly intended for newer systems were being automatically updated and now there’s all kinds of weird bugs that crop up.

We had a theme of ‘Marathon’ and I nearly put this in Garbage but decided to leave it over in Punk
