Very cool vibe! So atmospheric. Really nice for the morning today! Those vocal-like swells are super cool!

The Music Production Club's Monthly Music Mission is a challenge to make a new song every month.
Each month we get materials, prompts, exercises, etc. to help jumpstart a new song.
Imagine finishing one song per month. That's 12 per year, a full album's worth!
A new album every year is a worthy goal for any artist!

Hot Pursuit

Back in Town

In a galaxy not far away, around a dying star, lies the orbit of a feline fortress- a planet just for us!
In a race against the expanding outer layers of our sun, we must open every portal until a brand new world is won. 
What evil may come?

Cloaked claws, powerful paws,
Veiled in magic mystery, our incantations rise.
Cloaked claws, this is our cause!
Be it fate or destiny, our future is in the sky.

Cloaked Claws

A song about times when I feel outside of myself. It can be unsettling or weird, but also sometimes freeing. Other than vocals, kick, and piano, all instruments in this song were made from sounds recorded in a span of 10 minutes around my apartment. Thanks to Brian Funk and Ableton for a cool found sounds speedrun challenge! The photo is my feet in slippers from a hotel in Madrid. 
Lyrics:
I'm living someone else's routine,
I'm living someone else's life,
I messed up essential parts of me,
I messed up the way I feel inside.

I woke up and thought I died,
I was just sleeping on my good side,
And as cold water falls over me,
I'm rearranging my beliefs.

I won't answer at this number,
I don't live here anymore.
If you need to reach me,
Just send out a postcard from where you want to be,
Maybe I can meet you there,
Maybe, we'll see.

Trapped inside of someone else's mind but they don't know that something's not right,
It's not too late to start over,
It's not too early to lose myself in the past,
I'd like to think the future is mine to choose.

I don't need another second,
I'm gonna buy them all!
If you don't believe me,
I'll send out a postcard from everywhere I'll be,
Now I'm feeling better,
Now I feel free.

Postcard

The song is about how I spent the past year, when I traveled around 30 cities and 13 countries. I wrote the text a year ago on my first tour in Europe, when I was walking around Seville and suddenly I felt a device inside me that absorbs sunlight, impressions, tastes, smells, meetings and generates energy from all this. Then I realized that such a device exists and is called a nanoantenna.
So now I have a lot of electricity and I want to share it with you.
