Last week focusing on using FFMQ samples. This time I tried to blend them a bit more and integrate the sounds with my more traditional production techniques. Can safely say that these are a part of my toolkit now!
Not a usual compo for me, but I wanted to practice using my new-and-improved live looping setup and record some bad lyrics, so here you go. I also had to fix my max for live patch during the hour because it was doing weird stuff. Not entirely sure if this is a nukage production or not.
Sometimes the greatest pleasure is staying at home, eating a big piece of chocolate.
It's a backing track, that is definitely lacking a singer. I didn't want to add any melodies in, because i believe only a singer can fulfil the duty. It's very bubblegum-ish with a lot of tight dance grooves, and a breakdown in the middle. Again the reason it's simple, because i need some vocals, both harmonisation and melody wise, and since i can't sing at 2am, nor do i want to sing anyways, it's an instrumental.
Also the title is a reference to a movie, try and guess if you can!
Kinda sweet and snobby, went for a vaguely classical feel, since chocolate was rich folk's food long ago. And some warm strings, cuz I like strings.
Afloat on the slow sweet river
Take me back to the age of quiet dreams
Softened skies and the flash of crystal beams
What ways our minds retrain our eyes to find the ground
Find me here in fragments
Parallel dimensions arise
Experimenting with some newish sounds for me, a hot mess of synths and stuff with the net result of a chocolate bar left in one's pocket too long.
First FL Studio piece! Sorry it's so short. I spent half of the time watching tutorial videos. But here it is!
In the sky
with my happy heart shaped
Chocolate drop
See the world
Sweet and pure
Covered in the rain of
Chocolate gold
Happy heart shape chocolate drop
Together, well sail on islands hop
Happy heart shape chocolate drop
Around the world, well never stop
This song is inspired by my FF XIV mount
bittersweet like the love in a dream
never quite as real
covering faults with decadent thoughts
never quite as true
aromatic in the dark
never quite the same
filling my mind with nostalgic drops
never quite remains
sickly sweet and blinding bright
never quite what you want
an aftertaste hanging in the air
never quite as real it seems
Sorry could not find any piano that fit with it drum beats made by me. Hi. Mr person from church tell bri I said hi!
couldn't sleep, and remembered its ohc time so i quickly installed FL studio and created something a bit fast late minute
i hate chocolate syrup
its smooth and sticky
and it gets everywhere
