…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

No updates last week, no updates next week. But this week I made some weird stuff. We had a theme of “Orphan” and I did a little punk thing that also had clarinet in it for some reason. Maybe it should have been in a different category. This one was loosely based on a true story. You can find it over in Punk.

I switched clarinet reeds because Edi/Vaiphraigm, one of the OG 2HTS participants and a clarinetist, said my reed was too soft. But that means in a way I lost two months of progress because the change from 2.5 to 3 is a lot more than the change from 1.5 to 2.5. Anyway, i played with all the instruments i’ve been ignoring. We had a theme of Iceberg and having made a sandwich earlier decided to write about the lettuce instead. You can find it over in Punk.
