Where did this sample come from?
This sample came from a stream near a grocery store near me. I really don't know what I am looking at here. If you know please comment.
I have been fighting some recurring demons lately. It happens. I've done this before, and I'll likely do it again. As I type this I have much more hope than when I was writing the music.
Music Comments (technical):
I did some odd stuff harmonically. I kinda understand this as slightly more complicated impressionism. Where, instead of going back and forth between two distantly related chords, I go back and forth between two sets of two chords. The first set oscillates between an augmented and major variant of a chord, and the second set oscillates between a major and minor variant of a chord. Both chords use the same half step movement to change their variant.
I am okay for being a beginner at mixing. I imagine if I spend more time on these songs I could get everything locked in, but I tend to write quite quickly and keep moving. If I slow down too much I tend to lose my drive.
How did I get it to look like that?
The usual for my videos. Layered colored plastic between the lamp and the slide and somewhere between oblique and darkfield depending on how dark I want the background.
This video and the music are entirely or majority created by me, and you can use both however you'd like without attribution.
