Thank you! account activity

[–] dogsent
That's a very interesting exercise and it worked out well.


It was much more of a challenge than I originally thought, but I had a LOT of fun doing it! Thanks for enjoying it^

I liked what you did to compensate for the constraint. I'm not a musician but appreciate how the tempo was
expressive and creative.

[–] ASK_IF_I_LiKE_TRAINS
Super cool and interesting


Thank you! By the way, do you happen to like trains?

Slaps so hard this post is going to my save I really want to put this on my YouTube music playlist when can I do this
[–] Imveryoffensive [+3][S] 4 points 7 months ago

I’m so happy you enjoy this! It’s in the process of being released on music streaming apps and YouTube music! I’ll
give you a link after it’s up

[–] MrSanchez1837
Very cool it reminds me of impressions


Thank you! I was actually inspired by Impressions for the B section. The little bit of modal Jazz and free improv in the
melody is taken from there^^

I’ve got to save this post because now I kinda have to try something like this myself! Thought of adding min/maj7
chords to this as well since they also are technically maj7th chords.

If you build a bassline with a minor scale, and harmonise it with major 7ths, all of those chords work with the 2nd
scale degree. The reverse is true if you want to harmonise with minor 7th chords. I wonder if such a system works for
majmin 7 chords
[–] Josku5 2 points 7 months ago

Oh that’s interesting… have to try that out and see what kind of tones I get

very cheeky!
[–] GabrielBekson  2 points 7 months ago

Nice

Thank you!

[–] shi1425
Major 7 chords move around so nicely almost anywhere you put em 🎶🔥🎶

They really do! And anchoring it with a simple diatonic melody helps a lot

[–] inkman
Yeah I'm gonna say to keep going with this. The fast sections will be hard to develop. Make it painful! We can take it!
Keep bashing this until it bleeds miniature versions of itself.
[–] Imveryoffensive [+3][S] 1 point 7 months ago

It’s definitely… hard at this tempo, haha. I should have just labeled it with a more general “double time swing”
marking rather than a specific tempo.

[–] peacefrog_26
This just makes me want to bob my head so bad. Thanks for sharing

I’m very flattered to hear that! Always happy to share!

This is dope
[–] Imveryoffensive  [+3][S] 1 point 7 months ago

Thanks so much!

[–] 123pooppoop123
Great tune! Just curious, how’d you record this?


All of these sounds come from VSTs in FLStudio actually. Other than the sax, they sound pretty believable. Thanks for
listening!

[–] TackleMeElmo
Unique for sure. I like it.


Thank you! I definitely owe it to Coltrane for the inspiration though.


[–] contrabananahammock
This is some 22nd century shit.


Damn, time flies. One moment it’s 2019 and now it’s the next century ;(
