A Song for the Empty World

My first track after more than a year of studying the behaviour of the stereo field, different types of EQ, mixing and finally mastering. All my previous tracks don't have this knowledge applied to them.  If they sound good is because I have a good ear, but now I know how to do it properly thanks to the FL Studio Community who thaught me how to improve, as well, to the Kilohearts Discord Community, who also helped me to undertand how to mix. I just realized how important is managing the Stereo Field with tools llike the Stereo Shaper from FL, or using the Channel Mixer from kHs.

I never used premade sounds, I'm against that. My philosophy is to create all the sounds from scratch, so I designed all sounds in kHs Phase Plant software, except for the percussion, which are Stock IL Samples.

Anyway, hope you enjoy!

Is it possible to write a song that isn't really in a key? I dunno how well this actually worked, but it sure was fun to try. I wanted to keep the melody easy and approachable, but keep the harmonies shifting and sliding. The solo part is in "fake 7/8," meaning it's actually in 4/4 which sounds weird and spooky. 

Enjoy!

Off By One

Just a little story about a girl, a boy, and a big, scary world.

This track came about mostly because of the main theme, originally intended for a more straight electro-type track. The goal was to find interesting harmonies that could work under such a simple melody, and keeping the major / minor ambiguity alive was a fun puzzle. As always, I haven’t got a goddamn clue which key or scale this song is in, I’ll leave it as an exercise for the listener =)

The world/folk/fusion space is an interesting one, with many ways of jumping between styles and genres without losing cohesion. The B-riff is an adaptation of something I heard from Hungary once, but also had this great latin vibe that gave me ideas for the piano riff.

For the breakdown, I resisted the temptation to track the chords to the solo the way I’ve done it in the past. Something about leaving the melody open to interpretation seemed appropriate. The fusion solo contains a tiny homage to Esbjörn Svensson Trio, one of countless influences that have shaped my view of jazz and its many incarnations. A bonus was the accidental 80:s chunky Stratocaster patch I whipped up using Harmor. Gloriously kitschy =)

Building some tension towards the end, I decided to try and navigate back to the main theme for a bombastic Eurovision finale, which seemed appropriate. All in all, a fun little adventure!

Composed for the the Sound of SceneSat Volume 5 compilation.

Nothing too serious, just an old sketch I decided to finish just to get the damn hook out of my head. Enjoy!
