'Phandora4' - New Original Music - A Lot of Changes to the Previously Shared Idea...

to the song idea from my previous post; since that basic, initial thing, it had gone through 3 other iterations. The drums/percussion that begins the song are that heavily effected loop still. I found the two beepy sounds it has are a G and a C, so initially, I wrote a progression in C. Initially, I wrote a progression in C. But, I found that below each of those two beepy notes, there was also a super subby low D, so I transposed everything into G, but I felt that the beepy C didn't fit with a lot of the progression as well, so we're back in C here with everything filled in a lot more. The low D still is there, but it seems to work okay actually, and a lot of the time gets lost in the actual bass synth, so I think it worked out. There are two new drum tracks here as well, a snare/hat pattern which used a white noise sample in Simpler, and a hi-hat line in Track 10.

pictured below. Everything is diatonic until the 4th chord (at the start of the second 8 bar section); the chord is a Dmin, but Track 12 (which adds little 3 note melody parts over each change) arpeggiates a Gmin on top, with that Bb adding a nice temporary dissonance that resolves with the next harmonic change. Finally we have a bass part in Track 13. It's a very subby, round bass sound, and I used the glide on it quite a bit. Overall, I'm really happy with this so far. It's not finished, but considering the super rough idea that it came from, I'm gonna keep running with it in this same direction.
