Because I saw @Saxxon working on some Trance stuff, I've decided to try learning to write some Trance. This is my first piece of music I'm trying to make in a genre. It's just a 16 bar loop for now, but I think I'm getting in the right ballpark with this!

#music

Okay! I think this song is finished neough that I'll free it into the world! Enjoy! https://soundcloud.com/compact-joy/letting-go-w-btrx

And thanks @coda for helping me improve it enough to get it finished!

#music

Still my most popular song to date. Clearly @coda makes my music better. :P . Good robo synth bot! https://soundcloud.com/compact-joy/i-need-to-see #music

And because I'm fucking around tonight, here's an older thing where I wrote a simple beat and just was jamming on top of it for 5 minutes. It doesn't go anywhere or do anything, but bits of it are pretty fun. #music

And here's my WIP from tonight. I am working on rerecording pretty much everything in this one and adding some nice bits on the edges, but you can hear where I'm going with it. It's called "Breathe" #music

Here's something I was working on while @AzureHusky was visiting! The vocals are temporary placeholders right now, and there's no melody or anything but the bass and drums, but I really like the way this sounds and want to develop it more OMG. #music

This song of mine "Somewhere" isn't as popular as "I need to see" but I love it so much more for some reason.

Tonight's going to be a music and flying evening

Okay yes this. THIS is what I love about MPE, the ROLI Seaboard, and all related digital equipment that introduces organic analog feelings into things.

Last night, I stayed up for hours alternately watching The OA and playing around with Ableton Wavetable. I absent mindedly found myself playing along with the soundtrack at times. It was a delightful, organic experience.

#music

My mind is so full of music thoughts. Since I started this musical journey a couple years ago, I've been continually rediscovering music. Seeing bits and pieces of it that I never saw before. Seeing arrangements of chord and melody. Recognizing audio effects and basic synth setups. Seeing their soundscape. etc.

Every few months, I listen to something I haven't listened to in a while, or never at all, and I almost gasp at how much more I perceive in the music.

#music

So @coda and I did a jam last night, and this song came out of it. It's just a simple loop for now, but FUCK: https://soundcloud.com/compact-joy/the-way-home/s-JqNKC

#music

Gosh, I wish I could do stuff like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j9DkfVXqsuI

#music

While doing jamming, I was enjoying what I was doing, but I felt like I only had a few tricks up my sleeve to make things sound nice.

I really want to get better at two handed playing and gaining more knowledge about how to switch between keys/chords. I know a few things, but I stick to C major and A minor a lot for obvious reasons. Gotta streeeetch myself again.

Time to go back to keyboard class?

#music

Tried working on my depressing sad song last night, and I just can't get the lyrics to come out. The song in my head seems confused about what it is and won't stay focused enough to make sense.

So after about an hour of trying to work out lyrics to it, I gave up and wrote a random bouncy happy thing, then just did some jamming on my seaboard for a while.

#music

Listening to my latest song after coming back from the cruise, it's really hitting me that I really really like this one. It's probably my favorite yet!

This artist, Sammus, did a set on the cruise and HOLY SHIT it was the best damn music that happened AT ALL: https://sammusmusic.com #JoCo #music

If you have the money, buy this person's albums!!!!

I've been super anxious about the singing on this one because it was super hard to sing, but I'm feeling better and better about it as a few days pass since I put it out: https://soundcloud.com/compact-joy/somewhere

My new track is finished! https://soundcloud.com/compact-joy/somewhere
