It Comes In Waves

This is just a first experiment with a new Volca Beats. Fun little beat. I think this all sounds like video game music again, so maybe that's where we're headed? We'll figure it out I guess!

"Flavor Beats"

Sometimes you have an idea and it's great, and then something uninspiring happens and you end up with something like this. It just goes on the pile and never comes back.

I think the idea here was something about video game music again, but it's mixed with something that I don't like.

Another adventure in sleep architecture. This one is something about those nightmares you keep drifting towards. It's misleadingly abrasive. Also, lately I think things sound like that would be good for a video game. This is one of those. Gives me dungeon vibes. Anyway...

I'm not really sure what this was supposed to be. I liked the idea but I can't get to an arrangement I'm happy with, so we're moving on.

I swear I'm getting back to training. I have no idea what I was supposed to do here, but I played with mallets!

"Toys"

Level 14: The Vocal Hook

I'll be honest, I did this the other day and totally forgot to post it. Probably because I don't like it, but post we shall.

The task was to trim a sample down to just a word to use as part of the beat. I was working with samples I'd already used and wasn't feeling inspired when I did it. You can tell.

Anyway, this is...

"The Hook"

Got sidetracked with stuff and created new sounds. This time with a marimba! Fun stuff.

One final bit of playtime before I put my serious musician face back on and get back to this training...

Another experiment just using everything I've learned the last few weeks.
