## This song idea started two nights

I started with Track 1, which was actually a trumpet sound from LABS, which just droned along, never changing pitch. I recorded this into an audio clip (which is Track 1 now), warped things a bit, changed the octave, and ended up with what there is now. I actually intended to build a bunch of droney stuff on top, but when the bass and drums happened, I realized this could be much weirder, so I went that direction. Track 2 is the bass, created in Serum again, and recorded in Track 3 so I wouldn't lose the sound (Serum demo gives 15 minutes of use before needing to be reset. Track 4 is the drums, which turned out far more interesting than I initially intended. I took a drum rack and filled it with some samples from a new pack I downloaded, added the Ableton Random plug-in, increased to 100% chance, but also put in 'round' order, so it would play each hit in order of appearance in the rack. I then took that beat, recorded it into Track 4 here, and chopped it up, turning off the warp feature and pushing parts up an octave or two, and other down a few. Then, I corrected for the pitch changes, so it really just affected tempo, and wound up with the beat here.</div>

Track 5 is a little clip, just used for transitions between parts. Track 6 was the main instrument in the first version, and provided a heavy-vibrato laden sort of theremin sound. I reduced it down to two notes here, and I think it works much better as a strange little accent. Track 7 is ONLY used at the beginning of the little break parts, and fades out quickly, providing a single note on an arpeggiated synth. Track 8 adds some bell sounds, which aren't particularly tonal in the mix, which again turned out to be a cool, unintended effect. Track 9 adds a single little chord hit, with a plucky synth in a super high register halfway through each 4 bar go-around. Finally, we have Track 10, which is only used on the 4th bar of each section, and adds some little minor 2nds with a horn sort of sound. However, it has a pulse effect on it (ROLI built in effect) and also has pitch bends automated in Ableton, so it just adds some weirdness at the end of each part.</div>
