An exercise in bringing a piece together with edits. I'd tracked a number of compatible melodic and chordal bits against each other, but there wasn't a defining idea, other than the first theme's emergence in 3/4. (Surprisingly, that theme does appear near the middle.) There are the usual choices here: three parts, no inline effects, but a send to a convolution reverb, and the stereo bus compression/eq.

The title comes from NGC 488, the Whirligig Galaxy in Pisces.

King Charles III's coronation this weekend in the UK, but I'm not a big fan of monarchy. At least we get an extra bank holiday tomorrow.

Not the sexiest track and a bit plain in some ways.

I am happy with this track. Not necessarily saying that the music quality is better, but I was able to reconnect with the approach of making a track based on an image, a feeling. I am reading the book Mother of God, by Paul Rosolie, explaining his quest to preserve the Amazon and wildlife worldwide. The depictions of the Amazon, of the giant anacondas in the untouched sections of the jungle, are mesmerizing. I wanted to try to evoke in music the feelings the book gave me.

WIP. Deep,dark and dirty. Low-fi chugging house with a retro vibe. Comments always welcome!

Here we are. Look man. I can't think of a way to describe every one of these damn things. I spent some time. I worked on it a lot, honestly.. I was going to call it done.. and then I cut 30 seconds and added another minute.

The cool thing about this one is that it goes to some different places.. The weird thing about this thing is that I did a lot with the EQ'ing and mixing.. and honestly.. I don't know if I ended up doing more damage than good. but you know, this is how we learn folks.

Anyway. I hope you enjoy! I had fun making it!

(I am re-uploading the song after some further tweaking to the volume levels on some things.. and I also added the main melody into the 2nd half.. which ties it all together a bit more.. but also just has a generally pleasing vibe)
