Reflection:

This is my week 1 assignment on Coursera: "Creating Sounds for Electronic Music". 
I enjoyed learning how to create kick and bass sounds during week 1.
Eventually, the synthesized ones were in this track.
The use of bass (especially the wobble) is prominent in the groove section.
The kick maintains the rhythm during the breakdown.
The tempo is 128bpm. There's a popular myth that 128 beats per minute is the rate that synergizes most with your heartbeat. 
That's the magic number according to the "We Are Your Friends" movie which I watched during the pandemic. :-P
Anyway, it's designed to have a half-time feel. It's meant to express a dream zone feeling.
I watched the Sandman series few weeks ago. The track is mainly inspired by it.
I imagine Sandman walking through someone's dream trying to look for a certain issue.
Once found, he performs his magic to resolve it. lol

I tried my best to keep it simple and avoid adding too much instruments. Each sound should serve a function.
I'll try to perhaps speed it up a bit in the next version and modify some instruments to a give a more dreamy character.

Thanks for listening and reading. I hope you enjoyed the track.

Dream Walk

I'm listening to some math rock recently 
and thought of doing some experiments on compression effects and a vox amp.
Here's the sound I got and 
just noodling some adhoc riffs on it. :-)

Math Edge 13th

I'm exploring kairatune (a free synth vst)
and thought of shaping a phaser effect that it can go with.
Later, I just added a simple drum groove.
was thinking of using a hip hop kit at first but it sounded a bit computerish... so i've replaced it with a kit called Phil Plexi.... :-)

Kaira Jam

because of the recent price hikes on DigiTech Bad Monkey...
perhaps, it'll be nice to share a free alternative :-)

in the track, i used a klon clone virtual pedal called CLON MINOTAUR TRANSPARENT OVERDRIVE from Nembrini.
