This week was another try at Downtempo Melodic. I started out with some notes on the arrangement and just pursued the idea from there. If you want to see how the song developed, check out the VOD on Twitch.
I really like the overall feel of the song. It feels medieval? - not sure. But it's different than my normal stuff and I like it. I also like the verse and build a lot, but currently I don't feel like the ...
2021-03-25 22:29:00 +0000 UTC View PostYesterdays stream I wrote some chillstep. For a change, I started with the percussion and wrote both the verse and the drop. From there, I wrote the chords, melody, and arrangement. I ran out of time on stream so the "drop" in this version is really just a placeholder at the moment.
The first chord progression I wrote was really awesome, but unfortunately chat pointed out that it sounded like something else. Turns out that I basically rewrote the Mount Olympus chord progression but in a...

This month we're writing melodic dubstep and similar ideas, but I wanted to include some sessions at 90-100bpm since it's not a tempo I write at often. This is one of those ideas and I'm pretty happy with how it developed.
The main focus on stream was writing a good chord progression and the...

2021-03-04 16:01:02 +0000 UTC View PostThis is the song idea I wrote on stream Wednesday and it's a bit of a mess. I started with the intention to write something more trancey than the rest of this month's ideas (kind of like Flutter or Solstace, basically) and came up with a really good chord progression but I didn't know where to take it. So with the help of chat I tried 3 different directions - Chillstep, Chill House, and lastly Anjuna Trance. <...

Yesterday was another progressive house/trance stream and this time I decided to write in the style of "You" from Blocking the Sky. Looking for some throwback vibes on this one and I think it worked out. You can check out the entire process on the VOD if you want to see how the idea developed.
This idea rounded up nicely and while there isn't any percussion or FX, I feel like the song itse...

2021-02-13 20:55:53 +0000 UTC View PostI wrote this on stream this week. It was a fun stream and I built everything in this one from scratch - it went well I think this idea definitely has some promise!
You can check the VOD for how the song progressed, but the short of it is this: I started out building the drop percussion and wrote the drop first. The verse idea came from the chords that I wrote in the drop and I developed from there. Right now,...
2021-02-12 16:20:24 +0000 UTC View PostThis is the song we wrote on stream last week. It was written using the skeleton of Retrace so you might notice a lot of similarities. If I was to finish this one, the FX and the percussion would be completely rewritten.
On stream, I actually wrote most of the song with a different melody and decided it wasn't good enough. You can check the VOD if you're interested in hearing the original, but this melo...

Hey Everyone,
This is the other commission that I've been working on since December. It's a laid-back, pluck-based, progressive house song about contemplation and challenging the way you think. The title is tentative for now and this will probably release at some point in the next couple months.
MP3, 24-Bit Wave, and tentative Artwork are attached!
Thanks as always for the support - I hope you have a great week and I'll see you Wednesday for another stream!

I've been working on a commission the past couple of weeks and it's finally far enough along (and I got the okay from the person who commissioned it) to show to you. There's still some polish left on this one and it needs a lot better mix, but it's a really cool song so I wanted to show you!
It's written to be an Esports team's theme and is about the struggle that comes with competing. I think the story of the song is universal though - it describes the challenges yo...

On Wednesday, I did the final session on stream for the Hardstyle/Happy Hardcore song. The whole song pretty much came together and there's just a few things left to do. I'm going to finish the song off stream because most of the stuff left is really tedious. Mainly, I want to create a new pre-drop fill (I took the previous one out because I didn't like it) and general smoothing of the mix, the ...

Yesterday I was off for the holiday (Happy Thanksgiving to everyone in the US!) - but today I have some substantial updates to the song. First though - some quick housekeeping.
There was no update last week because I had to do the week 3 stream last Saturday (a piece of my streaming setup malfunctioned so I had to order something). Since there were only a few days between the week 3 and 4 streams I figured it would be best to post 1 big update.
