splashing sunrise
breathe the water in till its
become my own
become my own
thoughts are empty
sinking
diving deeper into
the unknown
to the unknown
feel my
water splash against my skin and
sunrise with me
feel my
water slowly sinking in and
sunrise with me

The best thing about jazz is that weird notes are part of the jazz :^) (and not just a result of my first time writing something jazz-y)
now grab a drink, close your eyes, and listen to the water
Lyrics:
I got the itch for Filet-O-Fish,
Mickey Ds, could you please grant me my wish?
I'm not looking for that asian Koi
I don't want a bunch of rice or a lot of soy
Give me a burger with a fish in the buns
Or is it a sandwich, I can't think of a pun
Seafood is my go to meal
I need that Filet-O-Fish for real
Give me that fish
Don't want that Koi shit
Or else I'm gonna flip
Give me Filet-O-Fish
Float around, hang a bit with your friends, we're all in the same situation. Just keep moving.
This must be the most copy-paste cliche amateur hack song ever.
Also I started like 20 minutes late because I decided to update my computer right before Compo
Very pretty, lots of beautiful sparkly water mixed with really nice blooming aquatic life.
Ambient in 5/4. Try and count along.
david wise inspired
Water, lots of water
Joined late, went over time, and reuploaded cause I had a filter left on a sort of important channel send. Also defaulted to a darker tone. I am OHC perfection.
When you live like a little fish, stretching out your fins
and you swim 'til you reach the ridge, this is all there is
Life is clear, as you fill the gills, water's full of life
and as near as you are to it, it won't leave your sight
With a school of fellow swimmers
Round the bend, and then return again
With a cool, and flowing body
Listen in, and you will hear them
Shining scales, of a kindred kind, you don't act so coy
There you go, gliding parallel, sharing in the joy
With a school of fellow swimmers
Round the bend, and then return again
With a cool, and flowing body
Listen in, and you will hear your friend come again
Used OHC time to sketch out another commission piece this week. (didn't look at the theme)
This week I am doing the background music for stage 2 of this game which is an "underground cave" area.
I got a request to use a gated/sequenced arp to imitate a sort of "water droplet" feel. Other than that I just tried to take the tempo down a notch and make something with the right vibe. Tried to make the arrangement a little more spare to allow more "room" for the echoes and all.
I saw koi fish and thought of japanese instruments, so I used some samples of shakahuchi, shamisen, and koto to set something of an oriental mood. Also tried working in time, which is not my usual time signature. Good learning experience. My mental imagery was the flickering colors of koi darting about under the shadows of lilypads.
