My Head Hurts

Lots of glitch, and rapid rhythms. The goal is to convey anxiety. Like you are driving through traffic, or running through a crowd.

Tough mental health week for me and I struggled to produce anything.

Finally landed on this peaceful ambient piece as I felt the fog lifting.

I spent most of the time on sound design. This is a place where I felt like a better EQ than Bitwig's stock one would have helped, but I don't have a go-to right now since Ozone doesn't run under Linux. Alas.

I also feel like this track could have used a bass. I tried for hours to find one that work, and all of the attempts made the track worse so I just left it out. What do you think - should I keep trying?

I didn't follow much of the latest around the moon event-thing, but somehow did get a bit inspired by it.

Slightly more unusual for me, as I tried to stay closer to a regular structure with choruses and whatnot for once.

I started building the track around the bassline, its vibe inspired by SQF's week 15 track's bassline, which I eventually dialed back a bit because there is already so much going on in the track.

Again, a long track (what a surprise, I know), and to me, it feels a bit stale at some point.

Then again, I think I've heard the track for what feels like 10 hours now, so the track is dead to me XD

Hope you are doing well, stay healthy!

*hugs*

Based on a cool chord progression lifted from an old movie soundtrack, and tried to integrate it with a jumpy bass line.

Recently went down a lil’ rabbit hole with Dreamcore/Liminal music so wanted to try my hand at it. Definitely very crude and simple compared to what I’ve heard, gonna give a proper go in the future.

Hi hi!

› Production Notes‹ Production Notes

Back to m8 this week and trying out a new genre. For like two months on here, I've been inspired by Coldsushi's future bass productions on the M8 (go listen to Coldsushi's stuff!). In week 10, I asked them how they approach their songs and have been waiting for a chance to apply the ideas. This is my own (very rough) attempt at it. Stuff I tried:

- big hypersynth swells and pads

- subdued drums

- using OTT on the mix

- my favorite reese bass patch to fill out the low end

- 3-4 drops! (some larger than others)

- aggressive sidechaining of the syths/and bass to drums

- EQ'ing out the low end on all the synths

- EQ'ing out the stereo low end on bass elements

I'd love to get some feedback on the mix -- I think some elements feel a little too quiet and others are maybe a little too loud. OTT is also a little bit hard to manage -_-

Thanks for stopping by <3
