When making this song I didn’t know what I wanted it to be really or the direction; I had just opened up my DAW and started playing around with this beautiful sound on my piano and decided to just record what I play. No quantization or structure in mind at first I just played how I felt and wanted to make myself feel chills and nostalgia. Instead of doing crazy layering or a crazy bass drop I thought it’d be nice to have a stripped down song easy to get lost in and just enjoy without any crazy technical sound design. After I added the second part with the drums and finished the song I decided to leave it as is and like I said it’s very stripped down and simple but it still made me feel so much, and now I catch myself enjoying minimalism rather than over layering or compensating in every aspect of my life. Instead of having too much to focus on why not have stand out pieces in your home, or those few pieces of clothing in your closet that fit whatever the occasion. Same thing with this song; having something bare and very sounds allowed me to concentrate on the “feeling” and that’s why I called it minimalism.
