I started this tune off by creating a drum loop which had a sort of R&B strut because I just fancied trying it out. Then instead of going in the direction of making the track trip hop/instrumental hip hop (or maybe instrumental R&B?) I found myself adding electronic deep sounding chords. The closing segment had a deep bassline at one point but I decided to drop that. The track also had a slightly more tough percussion line at first, but I dropped that and changed the aspect to be more gentle in line with the mellow-ness of the chords I had chosen and thus the track in the end is both kind of mellow yet kind of 'bumping'(!). I had intended on a slightly more freestyle played melody in the closing section but I discovered that this can be a real headache to pull off effectively and when I created a recurring 6 chord pattern which I decided I really liked I decided I definitely wanted to use that instead. The whistle-y chord melody at the tracks close is a very simple loop but it took quite a while to find a good chord to use and then work into a sound timbre which I liked and also played in a way which both sounded good but also blended in well, etc (it's pretty basic to be honest.... but effective..... I HOPE?!). Overall im decently happy with what ive achieved again here.
This track is just an interlude (similar to one I posted last month). Like before its built upon very simple loops and has got a jazzy vibe but this time is a little more humorous than previously. Basically the whole track is only built around 3 separate instruments/synths. I already had all of the beats, piano loop and quirky weird noise loop aspects recorded and remembering my previous interlude track I decided that they would be perfect to work into a simple interlude rather than a fully fledged track again. The (slightly prolonged) beat loops were recorded in one go and don't feature any tweaking to get all of everything perfectly in a mathematically organised sync. I did try to achieve that previously but upon revisiting the track and its elements decided that any imperfection featuring within the beat loop which I had created (which actually sounds fine to my ears anyhow) in this instance was only in actual fact adding to the quirky factor of a track which is a little bit cheap (but in a good way I hope!) and doesn't necessarily want to be taken too seriously!!
.PEACE!. F/R.
