Well, I said I wasn't sure if I'd use the Roland Cloud 303 over hardware but went straight into making a track. 😆
I'm really proud of this one mainly because of the vocals I recorded for it. Yes, that's me, albeit pitched down and time-stretched.
Happy 303 Day!
Here's the track for this year: an acid banger with a killer kick and some 80's style synths.
Enjoy!
Back in May I wrote about being inspired to write a track based on a YouTube comment.
I recorded a test not long after and built on that into June. Then the breakdown struck and I had a massive crisis of confidence alongside the depression and anxiety.
I wasn't sure if I was ever going to release it or even finish it. I had a version that was 80% of the way there but I wasn't entirely happy with it. Now, finally, after sitting on it for five months, I've settled on an arrangement that I'm (mostly) happy with.
You can listen to "Not enough dictionaries to cry" over on BandCamp.
Today was mostly wiped out by a migraine with much of it spent in bed.
I have, however, spent a couple of hours this evening working on something that I started last night: a new blissed out, trancey #acid track.
I'm putting the MS-1 to good use.
I started a new track a few days ago and came to work on it yesterday afternoon. The session didn't go well — things weren't flowing. So, after a few hours of scrolling through presets I gave up.
After tea, I thought I'd have another try but instead wote almost a complete new track and finished it this morning. That's just the way it goes sometimes.
Here's a quick snippet:
# The new track is called "Self Doubt" and is now live on Bandcamp.
# So happy that Southampton FC will be back in the Premier League next season. Must admit to also having a bit of trepidation after our last season there. Much to be done over the summer but let's enjoy it for now! 🔴⚪🔴⚽
