A friend mentioned that for his liking the last track didn’t have enough tonal variety. I tried to do better with this one. But now my wife says it’s too much.
Also check this youtube-channel if you like piano, patterns, syncopation and other stuff. Most of what I do is directly inspired (if not just lifted) from Chris’ channel.

Example:
Maybe it’s because my interest in music making started on a drumkit, but even when I’m playing around with a piano-sound I often end up experimenting with syncopation. Or patterns more in general.
I planned this track as a “beginner”-piano piece for myself to practice. The pattern starts relatively simple and evolves over time.
Haunting performance, so intense.
I tried a new approach today. Usually I jump into the DAW immediately and fool around until I have something that I like. Today I instead started on a piece of paper. I restricted myself to something very simple and tried to work more like I’d work on any other non-musical project.
Only after the individual building blocks were there I went by gut and ear.
Oddada is a beautiful, charming music builder/looper. Create loops in a fun way, record them in the end together and save them as tapes (and/or wav-files).
I experimented with audio again.
Except for the drums, all other sound-effects are triggered by instances of Mario Nieto’s “Harmony Bloom”. To add some more randomization and general sound-distortion, I fooled around a bunch with Cableguys “Shaperbox” on the majority of sound-tracks.
Here’s 3 minutes of auto-play and generated audio. Such a fun way to just experiment and play around.
The wife has been playing elden ring again and every now and then I catch a glimpse when I walk past her.
