This is kind of my tribute to the very addictive but short-lived "sambass" phase around the very early 2000s, but also a bit of the Japanese influenced side of things like some of what Cornelius did with Pizzicato 5. I have been loving that type of stuff going on RYM and going through the tags to find something interesting to me, because of how much I love these little microgenres. I have also been into bossa nova and samba for a long time so it flowed pretty easily. 

This may be the most "composed" sambass track ever made, next to some of the greats of course like Kaleidoscópio and Marcelinho da Lua. I wanted to respect that culture of music and not just mercilessly loop samples without changing things up or adding my own story to it.

Project Alarm - Amazin' Rainforest

I don't know what the fuck this is but I worked too hard on this to not post it lmao. 

Count this as another remix like my Steamboat Willie track.

CARTOON RIDDIM (Cartoon Network Samplecore)

This one is another "nocturnal beat", but this time inspired by the old crime jazz/big band periods. I think that is important to capture with this project as well is that era because it was the type of thing used so often in cartoons a long time ago! I wanted to capture that scheme-y feeling.

Project Alarm - Trouble in Catlin's Tower

I would explain my process on this track but I feel like it just makes me look even more self-fallating especially because people think this type of stuff is SO EASY and SO SIMPLE to make that it just feels low-iq of me to do that
