Rampin'
AlbumAbout
This was pretty haphazardly thrown together while I was in the middle of a country and job move! Started the album as an exercise to just do really short tracks that keep rampin up, but at some point, I guess I ended up in a diversion because I got really into the Hyper Light Drifter OST so ended up going into some darker territory somewhere in the middle.
Favourite Moment
I think in the very first track 'Yeah, Destiny!' I kinda stumbled upon this arp patch in Choreographs where I replaced the synth with an acoustic string instrument and it created this magical, mystical arpeggiating string glissando pattern that was just so wonderful to play around with!
Advice
I kinda forced myself to create my own rhythms for certain tracks and practiced trying to make some more groove-oriented works that helped push the boundaries of what I've been able to do in the past, but I realized as time was running out, I just went back into old patterns of adding strings, which I think I've gotten much better at now!
