Started this on Saturday.
I tried to power through writing a few songs with just some basic sounds, this was one of them. The plan was to get a basic sketch down: verse, prechorus, chorus, etc, and then fill in the instrumentation after, then mixing, then mastering. I started that process and quickly realized I was probably not going to finish anytime soon lol so I decided to just build it up using the same sounds and mix from "PENANCE" with some tweaks. Definitely still in unpolished demo territory but there it is. Ideally would have vocals in place of the vocal sample and a couple extra layers too. Maybe someday.
I kinda like this workflow. I find I work better when I focus on one aspect vs trying to do everything at once, and the composition feels the most like "making music" anyway. Using sounds that I've already decided "work" on a previous project also helps me envision the final piece better and keeps me working.
I don't think I'll make it to 14 tonight though...

This is cool. That high lead sound combined with the pad is a good combination. Great drums.
Recommend doing some collaborations next time, they can be very inspiring.
