I made this over Christmas break.

@coda calls it "Giant Christmas Laser Beam"

#music

I feel like this didn't quite reach the quality I wanted, but I liked parts of it: https://soundcloud.com/compact-joy/breathe #music

A super cheerful/triumphant song thing I wrote a while back while learning trance stuff. Didn't hit "trance" but it's not terrible? IDK. Not sure if this one should be shelved or picked back up. I kinda like it. #music #novembeat

New version of yesterday's #novembeat, now with extra @coda involved! #music

My #novembeat #music submission for today. I doubt I'll do too much this month, but I plan to write a bit! Dunno if this one is finished yet or not. I need some more time with it to feel it out.

@coda and I over here working on a thing. #music

Creating #music feels so absolutely amazing. Every time I do it, I'm just filled with an incredible feeling. Honestly, creating *anything* feels that way.

I still walk around my house singing my song "I need to see" that's inspired by the final episode of Steven Universe. https://soundcloud.com/compact-joy/i-need-to-see

#music

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

#aviation #music

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
