Description
Short Song Description:
An electronic music work in A-B form. The tempo is 98 and the groove is slight 16th swing. Although the tempo is low it does not feel like downtempo or ambient.
Long Song Description:
An electronic music work in A-B form. The tempo is 98 and the groove is slight 16th swing. The A section is in a minor key, there is a break, and the B section recapitulates the A section in a major key. It is mostly synth with the only "traditional" instrument being an electric piano.
Story Behind the Song:
I wanted to do something that was Bluetech meets Shpongle yet stay true to the idea of the progressive pop instrumental music that I call Lama Music. I did the sound design and loop creation in Logic and finished in Live. As always, I programmed the vast majority of the sounds. I used one cymbal loop from a library.
