Hey Everyone!

This week I wanted to write something more upbeat and intense with some bounce and groove to it. My main goal here was writing a decent drop idea but I ended up going longer than anticipated and extended the arrangement. If you want to see exactly how the song developed, you can check out the VOD on Twitch.

I think this idea is strong but without FX and automation right now it sounds pretty flat and repetitive. In my head I'm hearing a lot of movement, fills, and extra layers throughout the song that really help the pacing. This is probably the first thing I'd start with if I revisit the project.

Overall I really like it. The drop sound design is a little weak and I'm a little worried that the 2 parts won't work together (I wrote the verse/break after the drop and it's WAY more emotional haha) - but I think FX could tie them together nicely. What do you think of this idea - would you like to see me revisit it?

Download is available for ANimals and up! WIP Archives have also been updated.

Thanks as always for supporting me. I'll see you on stream tomorrow!
