Fat beat 3 (poppy one)

Ping pong nostalgia

This track marks a number of milestones in my progress on Garageband. First of all, I still consider it to be the edgiest/craziest, and most avant-garde sound I've done to this day (and I'm writing this in the middle of august 2023). Secondly, it's first time I learned how to do a transition and made one. It goes twice in the beginning, and twice during the dip, happening in second half of the song. 
I was playing with the knobs for heavy electro-bass sound, and discovered that knob called sync is perfect for making a transitions. And then I discovered (through another knob) a sound that sounded like a keystroke sounds on atari 800. Finding this sound felt like a dream comes true so I immediately composed a melody, very cute one, and kind of videogame-ish. I used this sound for opening melody (after a mini intro). It plays alone once and then the bass coming in is the original sound I played with. Hard, distorted bass riff goes into cross-rhythm with that melody, and after that comes the rhythm, which adds another dimension. It sounded very new, like I never heard something like that before.
Rhythms are basically only two. First one until the dip, and the second one after. A dip uses a heavy electronic bass sound, so distorted - almost unreadable, but beautiful - while still playing the first Atari melody with it. Then second rhythm and everything else keeps pumping. The end is the beginning, the same loop once again, which goes only once. That one is created by levelling pitches for all sounds, and playing them all at the same time, with only a snare hitting on third. Sounded crazy, so I left it. Enjoy.

Surfing on basses

Only one bass sound over 4 layers of octaves playing 5 different riffs in compelling succession. And yes, pretty minimalistic approach to percussions. A sunday afternoon experiment. Enjoy.

Sounds I used: (categories are in brackets)
- bass - deep synth bass (bass) - hollow 
- drum kit (all sounds)- modern 909 (electronic)

Bass riffs playground

This song I made in the middle of the period where I learned how to make proper tribe core, or hard core sound. The kick and bass all the way through, where the bass changes twice. First one is pretty basic, I would say as commercial as I could find, second one has a little hall/reverb in it, so it sounds a little mystical and new, and the third one sounds really new, heavy distorted, blasting from left to right ear, completely crazy sound. A cherry, a sort of.
Not much melody in this one, only the synths appearing for each bass sound, and with the last one I play weird riff on the sound where the repetition increases in time. It sounded funny, and very new and interesting, so I composed a melody using that sound. Otherwise, the overall feel of the track is a kind of "minimal tribe core", or the beginnings, if you will.  
Also, big shout out to Le Wanski and Avanity, which are my biggest inspiration when it comes to how the proper HC bass supposed to sound like. I also invite you to check their stuff.
For the picture I'm also proud, as I found some tribal couple and added some fire between them. I hope that correlates at some level, Enjoy.

Tribal beginnings

Trippy trance

This one is definitely one of my top 5 songs. This bass sound I discovered while working on song Tribal beginning. Last/third bass sound in that song is the same sound as here (with one shift  to the left on the grid), so basically here it goes correctly (kick, bass, kick, bass, etc), while in Tribal beginning they play at the same time, which created this warped effect of twisting sound that I am so proud of. I found this sound by playing around with buttons, just turning them left/right, trying out what sound will appear. Which is something I should technically do with every sound, but it's pretty menial and time-consuming activity, so I usually go with sounds that are already there. Most of them are beautiful as they are (in garageband). 
This "falling star" sound at the beginning, synths playing mysterious vibes, and sounds used for both main melodies - all of those sounds are exactly as I found them in library (no alteration), and they sound pretty amazing to me, so.
When it comes to rhythms, there's basically only two of them. First just kick and snare (classic techno rhythm), and then I add  hi-hat, and that's the second one. I switch between them throughout the song. 
Beginning/intro is only kick line for about 10 seconds, and then kick and hi-hat for another 10. Then the song officially jump into swing and it stays there till the end, with only a couple of occasional and mild dips. 
The atmosphere seems highly cosmic and digital with mystic synths, and weirdly cute/tingling sound for two main melodies that complement each other very nicely. The whole thing is a heavy trip, very experimental, raw, and underground sounding. Just the way I like it. Enjoy.

Cosmic anomaly

A track I created some months after the first version. I lead with the second bass riff, playing it with first rhythm, synths and the stick sound in a cross rhythm. Then I introduce the first riff, using similar sequence of 3 different sounds, as before. What is really(or mostly) different is the rhythm, from beginning full-on kick with snare, and stick sounds come and go occasionally. In the half of the song I introduce ride sound in the place of stick sound, and the bell-ish sound playing first riff could be considered the cherry on the top of the cake, playing about last minute. The song sounds more finished, and is in full rhythm almost from beginning, differing form first version where the intro lasted almost a minute and half. So more fun for longer. I hope you will enjoy this.

Endless incoming 2

Sounds I used: (categories are in brackets)
- kick (second one) + snare - big room (electronic)
- bass - classic funk synth bass (bass) - long sweep 
- synths - analog silk (pads) - light brassy
- metronome sound/sticks - modern 808 (electronic)
- hi-hat - modern 808 (electronic)

Dark currents

Welcome to my crazy levels. First time I managed to incorporate relatively fast rhythm into my techno track. I think it's pretty new in techno arena, and I will very much dedicate my time into more of those tricks. This track is 5:44 min. long, which is my personal longest song, so another record/milestone. Also, I used first time in my life, some sort of voice-like sound I found in Garageband. So it's not my voice, in case you wonder about that. And as usually the bass sounds are top notch, I spent separate time on making sure of the pitch and timber. Track also contains 3 rhythms, synth theme, the main riff, and 2 variations of a pretty full-on piano melody. Hope you'll enjoy that, and hit me with your feedback if possible, Thank you.

Crazy levels

Welcome to my newest track. As the name suggests I somewhat managed to put together old sounds like piano, and roughly regular bass, with new sounds like heavy synth/distorted pumped out bass and cosmic sounds. Structure is pretty simple, there are two bass lines (or cord progressions)alternating. Only one rhythm through all the song, but there is a number or riffs/melodies including 2 piano riffs and two piano melodies. So the whole thing is pretty much a trip as usual. Enjoy.

Old and new sounds together

Sounds I used: (categories are in brackets)
- drum kit 1 (kick and snare) - big room (electronic)
- synth - classic simple pad (pads) - synth string
- bass 1 (clear) - deep synth bass (bass) - hollow
- bass 2 (muddy) - deep synth bass (bass) - acidic 
- melody - shimmering bells (mallets) - big bell 
- drum kit 2 (hi-hats and second rhythm)
   snare - pile driver (electronic)
   hi-hat - classic drum machine (electronic)
   kick - big room, first kick (electronic)

Acidic beginnings

Absolutely the rawest thing ever, feels like it was done in 5 minutes, while actually it took me about a week to finish. It's highly minimal in the way that there's only 2 instruments playing, and those are drums and bass. Heavy distorted and electronic one as usual. It plays sequence of 3 riffs with moderate techno rhythm roughly until the first half, where I switch bass sound and rhythm for a fast one. Classic metal/HC rhythm with no fill-ups and no cymbals (only hi-hat) - as I said, very raw and minimal. 
I had about 6 very good bass sounds to choose from and it was really tough call. In the end I went with first one as electronic, non-aggressive, distorted and somewhat interesting, while second one is more Prodigy-like with some mysterious hall/reverb in it. 
The idea first came to me on my way to work, while sitting in the bus. It kind of happens more and more often. I came up with 3 riffs that created nice sequence, and tried imagining some gradual involvement of drums - as the beginning goes. Couple of days later, I put that into garageband and danced all night, playing it on the loop, since I had to decide on which of those beautiful and crazy bass sounds I'll use. So I hope you're happy with my decisions and enjoy the track. See you.

Minimal alchemy

This track I've done about a year ago, and it was sitting in my library because it wasn't completely finished. Last week I looked at it again and kept polishing details until I reached pretty high level of production (well, to my standards anyway).
Song lasting 6:17 minutes is my longest track yet, so that's a record right there. Moreover, I got way better with arrangement of cells (in garageband), and now I can work with structures way faster, along with having the ability to make longer and longer songs. Pretty good improvement considering that last 6 months I did almost nothing on production level. I guess creativity works in mysterious ways. 
Here I'm using 2 basses. One continuous-sounding and the other short and punchy. Both electronic and heavily distorted. Intro is long and for over half a minute there's only bass plying. I wanted to let you sink that sound in on it's own, since for me that bass sound is an orgasm. I play 2 octaves, first lower one, then upper, then both. That's an intro. 
Then the rhythms start. I use 3 main ones and two additional ones (one at the beginning and one at the end). First main one is classic techno rhythm(kick on first and third, and snare on third), second one is complex rhythm with slow hi-hat (closed), and third one is with fast hi-hat(closed). After playing first one for over a minute and half (after intro), there's mixture of second and third one going almost until the end. Melodically, there's two melodies that complement each other and kind of play out the most of the melodic structure. In short slow down at the end I play only 2 basses with kick as obvious finish line.  
Enjoy.

Moderate tribe

Kwa kwa kwa song

Transformational journey

My very first beat published since I started with working on garageband. These are the very beginnings, and at this point I didn't even know you can alter tones(or how to do it), so in this one the bass is a raw/live input, so it's not completely perfect. The atmosphere is dark and serious although the song is only something over a minute long. Basically one loop of bass riff with one rhythm going on and off couple of times. 
The rhythm I used is from the times when I played drums regularly (after band rehearsals). It's one of my favourites - easy to play, easy to learn and remember. That one is programmed in, which is one of first things I learned on garageband. For me, the process for me was very slow, because I got to it only occasionally - which got slightly sped up by lockdowns, but still pretty slow. I took my time, I still am, kind of. This is still only a hobby, for me, and should be for foreseeable future.

Bassline playground

This track is based on the riff at the end of song "Eternal doom", which I made with Hash Noodle (my only collaboration so far). We played around with a couple of variations eventually agreed on this version. I felt like this riff deserves a much more space than just like 15 seconds, so I remade it with bass sound and added on  a couple of rhythms. In this second version, I added synths for even more dramatic atmosphere, and remade the riff into a twice longer version. And new improved structure brings on the feeling that the song is finished and make sense,  The picture is AI text to image generator app.

Hint of dance floor

Atmospheric Core

Hint of tribe core

Welcome - It all started when I was 6 and studied musical school on the top of normal school. We learned classical music - notation, scales, chords, etc. By the age of ten, I got pretty good foundation of music theory, and I kept playing flute for next 5 years. 

But the real fun started at 13, when I purchased my first guitar, and then started composing within a year. I wrote many simple pop songs, punk songs, and some gospel, later on learned to play and compose very complicated riffs, licks, and many solo techniques, eventually landed in death metal band, where I played the lead guitar for 3 years. 
     
Of course, that is a long history now, and I gave up making music at 31. But roughly 11 years after that I came along to own my first Ipad, which happened to have Garageband app. And since then I slowly learn more and more tricks, and have now done over 2 hours of music, which you can hear for free on this page. 
     
Every song is an experiment itself, although I tend to be melodic, upbeat, and various. I'm still using diatonic scales and chords as main channel for composition, just as I learned in school as a little kid. Although some pentatonic scales now and then won't hurt, right? 
     
Here is how I see it about the music. The most basic and effective way to make the magic is the combination of good chord progression and good melody. So basically, brilliant cords, brilliant melody and how much they complement each other - that is the magic. And, of course, the structure that utilizes all that to the max. All the rest is just a gravy, (I mean, "just" a gravy) Don't get me wrong, the gravy can be very beautiful and  enjoyable, and most of my tracks so far are mostly gravy, but the proper meal should contain some meat, Know what I mean? My most "meaty" songs so far are probably Autumn Falls and Hint Of Tribecore. The biggest and dirtiest gravy so far would be probably Tribal Beginnings and Warning Immediate Noise. But you can judge that for yourself. 

Still, my main focus now increasingly becomes a sound modulation, and structures of song, because more I play with that tweaking of sound, more crazy sound I can hear. The goal here is pure magic and beauty distilled into nice 2-6 min. pieces. 
     
Also, a little disclaimer here. I don't do any vocals, mixes, remixes, or live pieces. All should be well thought through, electronic, and freshly new, and original. So enjoy listening and feel free to comment. I appreciate the feedback as it gives me more info and insight.
Peace.
