My entry for the "Christmas Beat Battle" from Native Instruments, running from December 18th - January 18th. The rules for this battle were: Only sounds that are native to Maschine, along with Massive and resampling of internal sounds. Nothing else was allowed. There were no genre restrictions for this one, so I tried to come up with a hybrid or fusion of a few styles, and something fresh and new, yet trendy and accessible at the same time. In the end, I wasn't satisfied with the result, as the booming tribal drum sound I created as my starting point took too much space in the sonic landscape; I had a lot of transients that made it difficult to fatten the core sound and volume levels. Maschine has a lot of interesting sounds, but it was definitely a challenge to go from using what I was use to, to just the stock sounds and FX. In the end, it was more of an exercise in structure, and finishing a track on a deadline.

Filtered drums, simple, emotional piano progression, some fx, extra drums (claps etc.), and subtle layering. Had elaborate plans to develop the arrangement but in the end kept it short and sweet due to time constraints. Boom...
