Another three-guitar/no-drums thing, which fit into a busy weekend in two quick tracking sessions. Some weeks, I'll generate a lot of little motives that could fit in with something stronger, but end up being tossed. This one had only two bits that didn't get used: they could have worked, but I ended up tracking stronger lines over them.
PureSalem Mendiola into the UA Volt 1 (not on the vintage circuit), no pedals. A little convolution reverb, and the usual compression/eq on the stereo out.
The title comes from (again) the minor planet 509 Iolanda.
Best month of the year at the best time of the year, autumn.
[Volume Warning] NOT MIXED bit suddenly loud in a couple transitions, esp drop
another unfinished sketch ill prob never finish
liked the progression on this. its about as simple as it gets. bassline is 6-6-1-1.... anything with 6 and 1 always gonna be a progression i like. i might stick to a few simple progressions like this and make a lot of ideas.... need to add more elements and flesh out these more
idk if these type of melodies work that well with trap drums... might try make more 4/4 drums. i always think the melodies i write work better with 4/4 drums, then i get bored of making 4/4 drum music so ill prob just keep swapping back and forth between 4/4 and trap drum. or i could try and learn to write specifically melodies for trap drums

The first half of this song, came pretty quickly to me, and I instantly Loved it. I would say that the 2nd half is mostly just trying to carry on with a similar vibe or something.. I think it worked out really well, but I'm sure you may be able to tell that the first portions felt more solid to me. I'm not extremely happy with the last like, 10 seconds.. but it's an outro, probaby to a vibe that I didn't really ever want to leave. lol
Then it got to a point where i kept working on this.. multiple times after being like "OK ITS DONE".. so I feel like I would just keep refining this over and over forever if I don't just stop here.. Also, I'm not really certain that the quality of these refinements are necessarily as good as the initial 2 minute creation. Not to say they are bad, or making things worse. .but I just think the initial shot and composition was really good.
After a long hiatus, here's a quick and dirty slice of dubbed-out acidic house techno.
I needed to upload something as it's been too long. Let me know what you think.
