F# A C# E G#, E G B D,
A C# E F# (pause) B D# F# G# C#
I'm gonna throw this into my daw tomorrow and see if I could use it
something special
drew me to you
call it fate or
call it fatal
love consumed me thoroughly
you pulled me in
springtime on a distant star
set alight
my passions bright
eruption in a moonless sky
on stellar wind
something special
has long faded
yet my eyes still
search the night
waiting for the spark i saw
in yesteryear
winter on a distant star
how i wonder what you are
allegory, just a story
hasty tune
Smol DnB
Just a generic synth/MIDI metal tune without any shame, like the old good times
Wrote lyrics but couldnt get em recorded im afraid!
Megacontinental
Unlimited potential
Dont question my credentails
I been around the world
Im megacontinental
Sheer size involved is mental
I made it extra special
I been around the world
Megacontinental baby
Stomping ground is growing lately
immigration agents hate me
Been around the world
Staying home no you cant make me
No alarm coz fate will wake me
Things improving greatly
I been around the world!
Megacontinental
Megacontinental baby
Megacontinental
I been around the world
Megacontinental Champ
Break the records break the bank
Size is what I got to thank
I been around the world
Megacontinental states
and Megacontinental scrapes
with Megacontinental datesĀ
I been around the world
Megacontinental style
I got gaul and I got guile
I been going for a while
I been around the world
Megacontinental lifer
Exhibition trophy fighter
i know you need no reminder
I been around the world
Megacontinental
Megacontinental baby
Megacontinental
I been around the world
No samples, just synths.
I haven't done one of these challenges in over 15 years and since then we have phones to record us and I swear it's not easier. Half of my time was spent trying to figure out how to find the file on my phone.
Anyways here's something very thrown together with my 8 year old son.
Wanted to try something a bit different so i went for a bit of a half-n-half between jazzy beats and atmospheric chordal material. We start with a looped benny goodman sample that is repeated for 3 minutes as drums and melodies are slowly added. We then follow it with some arps, then a bass and then other goodies, before we move to the epic choir and pad finale, before we switch back to a breakdown to finish us off. It's simple but quite the adventure, and quite funky. Honestly i like it, it has potential, hope you enjoy!
A delight in time
Within a starshone temple
A lonely place, an empty heart
Your tender eyes fall near
I pause my steps, all fearful
Is it my place, to communicate
To make you know I'm here?
