Challenge #24 - Oblique Strategies

"embrace your worst impulse".

My worst impulse is taking too long. From the macro to the micro, it usually takes me at least 5hours for a track.

This, 2.5hrs.

Wabi-Sabi

Submission for Fearless Challenge #24.
My personal challenge was to "Make it More Sensual".

Tol10 - The Rhodes Called

"Don't be afraid of things because they are easy to do"

I interpreted this more as keep it simple. There are less than 10 tracks and everything is duplicated and pitched subtly different from its counterpart. The bass really holds the chords and the melody which I liked, so there was no need for a lead. The space is quiet and a little sparse but I like the simplicity of the track. Nothing too fancy but just a pretty melody and some backing.

The higher pitched part in the second half is my bass but pitched up to be more guitar like. I really like this effect and how you can really sculpt the tone with the complex warping in ableton. 

Enjoy!

The Fearless Few Challenge#24 Quipu

Each of us got one of Brian Eno's Oblique Strategies to focus on. Mine was "Decorate, decorate", so I focused on incidentals and sampling, being the literal thinker I am.
