The Jungle Machine

I made this to apologize to someone. I wanted to capture the frustrated feeling of being kept waiting for something never to come.

Samples:
Killing Me Softly (Roberta Flack)
I'm In Love, Why? (Nana Okada)

Stranded

lack of sidechain on fill made it sound weak on phone speakers; fixed

spon2

It's the same Juno horn line from In Motion.

Replaced the file because this master gets rid of a bunch of resonant peaks and the jam loop in the middle just sounds a million times better for it. Also the track peaks at -3.5 now. Going to see if that fixes the hi hats because whatever soundcloud did to them ruined them and apparently soundcloud just does stuff to your song. I uploaded a wav for a reason.

It Moves So Fast

Hit First

Note

I figure it's better to release this empty than never. Really wanted vocals on it, but. . .

Grease Fire

Better to release now than never. This is the first track I've mixed/mastered in mono and then stereoized and, in the context of the work in progress, this is a satisfying result. Also my first time using the Sakura synth tbh.

Sometimes Spiders Wear Raindrops on their Heads like Hats

This was a two year old idea I forgot all about and dug up. I spent labor day weekend composing and polishing this, so I hope it's good.

Cars

I'll revisit this, one day. Really wanted to produce the fuck out of these drums-- they take up 23 tracks in the project.

Time After Time

Whisper A Secret (Short)

Cheers

This one has a slightly different mix which places more emphasis on the overtones in the bassoon and makes the sample decap quieter.

Cheers (alt mix)

As long as I deem it finished, I'll drop it here, even if I think the end product is complete shit. I promised myself that.
