Lyrics:
You know eventually the road’ll roughen
Just leave me my empathy and close the dustbin
Cause that’s my recipe for overcoming
When they’ve taken everything and when you feel too broke to function

Take a breath and hope your lungs can hold enough in
No discussion, it’s gonna take more than a Robitussin
Tired of the whole production, I know that you owe me nothing
TMI? I don’t think I’ve told enough yet

So let’s see if I can broach the subject
It’s the inner critic, eagle-eyed and prone to judgement
Scheming while your hopes are up, then sweep aside the whole construction
Crushing, dreams can die. It’s the reason why I’ve grown accustomed

To my own assumptions, thoughts are cold enough to penetrate
Go confront them – “so disgusting, no-one loves me anyway”
But it’s my empathy from knowing others felt the same
That gives me the strength I need to overcome them every day.

By My Side (Prod. SX)

Leaf in the wind (prod. Cold Melody)

Left my side (prod. Heath Stone)

A greeting and then its love (prod. SeaSky Beats)

No dead ends (prod. cold melody)

One of 6 assignments I need to submit on Sunday
Lets hope the remaining 5 days bring out stuff thats even less shit

This week's prompt was lava lamp! 

I've been listening to a lot of ambient game soundtrack music lately, and I wanted this week's creation to reflect that.

Inspired by Olafur Arnalds and his ghost pianos, I created my own generative MIDI instruments on Logic and used them to trigger the mallet and piano samples. Much like bubbles in a lava lamp, these may seem to be random (and they just as well could have been), but with enough information about the system, it would technically be possible to predict each sound being played.
