Where do I begin with this cannoli? 
Writing this one dragged on far too long and it deviated pretty heavily from my initial goals. I was trying to do a guitar based song that was on the happier side, but over the course of working on it sporadically it evolved into what it is now.

There's part of it that I like for sure, but I don't think it quite works together as a whole for what I was looking to do. It feels like at least two songs, but it flows decently enough from start to finish. Initially I was planning on re-recording parts after I found what I liked, but it didn't become the case and so a lot of it is fairly sloppy. It was difficult for me to remember how to even play a lot of the parts without spending time re-learning them (since parts were recorded often days of more than a week apart), but that's alright. If I was fonder of the result I probably would have taken the time, as it is it was an exercise that I'm glad I didn't abandon, as I came close to just leaving it be several times. 

Another issue was that it ballooned to four total guitar tracks, when I should probably just keep it to 1-2 until I was done with it, then added extra for whatever flavor I'd want. It became harder to manage because of this. It also made me want to get a bass guitar to use to accompany the guitar instead of always relying on synthesis. I'd really like to make a 'traditional' band piece song with drum/guitar(s)/bass/vocal. Some day.

I used Ableton Live 10 for DAW and drums, my SG, and Repro-1 for the bass. Tossed a quick Ozone 9 on top to help with light mixing at the end.

as usual, thanks for listening!

One of my friends was having a time experimenting with some 7/8 and 7/4 tracks and I thought it might be fun to explore some polyrhythms so I grabbed my iPad and made this in a couple of hours in NanoStudio 2. I forgot how much I liked using NanoStudio! I'm sure he'll add audio tracks, any day now... haha!

Joking aside, for how quickly this one came together I'm quite happy with the result, it was only intended to be a 30-40 second experiment but I was able to coax something a little more whole from it.

Thank you for listening!

I'm debating singing over it 4 realz with lyrics.  It's also not really EQ'ed, mastered, whatever.  I do however like it very much, with the headphones on, yes.  ENJOY

Yeah.More final.Still has problems but I don't want to work more on it for forever.Moving on.


More finalllll

Kinda 8-bit-ish track. Feels like it could be from an RPG game in a dark wooded and mystical area.

All sounds from Korg Minilogue, recorded into Ableton with only some compression and reverb
