First track of Plinktober, and the word is "poisonous", so what better way than to use the riff from Alice Cooper's "Poison". Had a fairly different idea going into this but that turned out to be shit so threw this together. Hopefully I can do better tomorrow

1: Poisonous

Second day and it's gone...slightly better. This time, for tranquil, I wanted to make use of the Super-Ultra-Hyper-Mega-Meta-Lydian, but surprise, that doesn't work with harmonies. Still make use of it and it's the basis of the chord progression.

2 Tranquil

So initially with this one, I struggled to think what I'd do. These prompts are not meant for music, so have to go a bit lateral. So first idea, was do a generic desert level theme, which game me my first chance to play with phrygian mode. But then I realised what *roasted* could mean, and now I get to "sing"

3 Roasted

Another one not really suited to music, for "Spell" I decided to base a track off of Mourinho's second spell as manager of Chelsea.

Just kidding. It's about a witch making a spooky spell, somewhat unsuccessfully. It's a little undeveloped but nice enough.

4 Spell

Okay so what exactly can I do with "chicken" except go for mostly plucked instruments?

5 Chicken

Another difficult one to do, kinda had the idea of a sort of 8-bit monster grinning and dripping with drool as an intro, not sure it really kept true to that idea though. However, bonus in that this was entirely made on my phone (Caustic app) on the train to London. It's reasonably capable though obviously I only used presets

6 Drooling

This one wasn't too much of a stress, tried to take some nice deep breaths with some synths. Another one done on Caustic on my phone while on the train, handy this.

7  Exhausted

Not much of a stretch this time, stars > spacey saws that have a hint of chiptune about them. It's getting pretty taxing to do these every day but also rewarding.
