Months 7 & 8 of monthly releases for 2024.

Ok this one was quite the journey. Originally I planned to remix my guitar sample from the previous month's release to create a Brakence-style hyperpop/glitchpop beat because I love that sound and have been wanting to learn how to emulate it. But then as I was working on this one it kept getting more and more dance-y until eventually it went off into jersey club and breakcore territory? Two genres that I was not at all planning on making but it kind of just ended up going there. Took a lot of inspiration from Brakence (obviously) and also succducc. Also I was trying to figure out how to get those glitchy textures and I never really figured out how, but along the way I went down a huge rabbit hole of learning about granular synthesis and I also discovered a NEW GENRE called BOTANICA/PETALCORE which I think is so fire but I didn't know it had a name. So now I definitely want to learn how to make that but at this point I was already doing too much in this song and had spent enough time on it so I tried to just wrap things up and I'll save the botanica for a later release.

TLDR got pretty derailed because I was trying to explore so many directions with this one, but I learned a lot and discovered some new sounds I want to try in the future. Hopefully I can get things back on track with the monthly releases to finish out the year.

I'm trying to become a better musician and producer

Wrote my 1st song in about 1999 or so using Cakewalk. Dropped out of the DAW scene to play drums live for various bands, mostly in Texas. Bought Ableton not long ago and now realize I need a PhD to use it!
