when the lights out
follow my sound
reach for my voice
when nobody's around
i could never see things better
i could never see things better then you
because of yesterday i couldn't remember
just how subtle things could live in the center of my universe
and when it all blacks-out, dark clouds, breakdowns
when the lights out
follow my sound
reach for my voice
when nobody's around
i could never see things better
i could never see things better then you
This track is a piece that tries to build upon a simple idea. Normally in standard pieces both in standard music, and the music i make, there tends to be an A Section and a B section etc. However in this case i made a progression and a arp, but decided to make that for the basis of the whole piece. Not only that but there is a nonstop beat and bassline, to keep it funky but also i wanted to develop something without resorting to any chord or key change. It's about adding as much as i could to a simple progression rather that to consistently change it. What's also cool is that the bassline changes yet the progression doesn't, giving a false impression there is more than one progression when there isn't. All in all, it might be a bit too epic for some, maybe repetitive and boring, but i liked the sort of cool approach to the track, i think it's fun. Enjoy!
just me and the waves

When everything is looking bleak
And no one solution seems to stick
It might be difficult getting up each day
Running out of options to say
Go with the flow
When everything is looking bad
And every little thing just drives you mad
It is maybe not so easy watching evil prevail
Getting sick of watching yourself fail
Go with the flow
hardware improv without preparations
