I've never had an idea fall apart and (kinda?) come together like this in the span of 8 hours, the most experimental thing I've made thus far

A few hours into making this one I did something as a joke and thought: "but what if"

The result is something really weird but full of things I've never done before and I'm very proud of it

Everything done by hand (bass, electric guitar, keyboard and step sequencer)

Dawn Of A New Day

Worked on this for roughly 5 hours. I am, once again, very happy with the result! I got a new job recently and at my old one I feel like there were many instances where an idea popped in my mind that wouldn't survive until I got home to work on it. This feels like one of those ideas and I'm so happy that I could immediately work on it!

I called this Memory Lane because the only thing that really came to mind was a movie credit roll or a sequence where you'd see past events that took place in the movie. I think it works pretty well with the end where everything comes together. I think the piano bit's the most complex thing I've done on piano and it took a lot of effort to get right.

Everything's done by me on keyboard and bass, except for the drums which I took from the default Bandlab stuff

Memory Lane

Something very different for a change! This is one of three songs I wrote after being asked to potentially perform folk-y love songs at an event a couple of months ago. I somehow felt it was easier to write songs than to learn existing ones. I didn't end up performing (I only had one week after all) but I did end up writing this song!

Recording acoustic guitar and vocals is HARD. I did not imagine it being this much work to record off a microphone, having to keep microphone levels and all that in mind. I did my best however to make it sound alright and I think I did just about as best as I could. I know there's peaking still but I just wanted to get the song out either way, things don't gotta be perfect after all!

Singing is also another thing: my voice is definitely not trained for recording sessions, but hopefully I can get better at it as time goes by!

Garden Of Your Heart

Wowee I made two songs in a day? I gotta be nuts! And in like 3-4 hours too! Though it helps that I'd already written the song and everything.

Anyway, this is song 2 of 3 that I wrote more or less back to back. This one came out way *way* better than Garden of Your Heart, it's kinda ridiculous. To be fair I learned quickly from the production process of that song so this was done in a much smarter way lol

All in all, I'm really proud of this song. I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed making it!

Getaway

Felt inspired to make something short and simple, so I ended up making this.

Took about three hours from start to finish.

In Between

I wrote this song months ago but wasn't satisfied with it. I've been saying that I need to add a guitar and it'd be complete but I kept putting it off... until now

There are lyrics! It's hard to properly record vocals though, so for now, here's the instrumental version 🤠

All instruments recorded by me

To Find An Answer (No Vocals)

So about that vocal version, huh

Once again very happy with how this turned out

To Find An Answer

I got me a new Gretsch guitar and I wanted to make a song with it :)

It's sloppy but that's alright

Going Home

Been going through a rough spot, nuff said

I didn't have the inspiration tonight to extend it much further, but there is ample room for further improvisation

Rough Spot

I decided to cover a song for once! Knocks Me Off My Feet by Stevie Wonder is a very underrated song of his and quickly became one of my favorite songs. I've been taking singing lessons in the past few months and we did this song for a little bit, so I wanted to cover it.

All instruments and vocals done by me.
