Liner Notes

#Instrumental #fawmtronica #electronic #synthpop #synthwave #retro

Last one for me this year. While I did not make it anywhere close to 14, given my day gig required commitment, I am very pleased with my output and am very grateful for a community that encourages creativity at this level. It looks like I may be able to release an EP this year, the first release since 2020.

This is a solid synthwave track in the tradition of Mitch Murder and FM Attack. I think it lacks a bridge and a little more variation the second time through, but it is very good as a starter.

This bounces back and forth from C Mixolydian to C Major. Chord change are:

Intro C / F / Dm7 / G C / F / Am / Bb

Verse C / G / Gm / C F / Bb / C / C X2

Chorus C / F / Dm / G C / F / Am / G C / F / Dm / Gsus G C / F / Gsus / G / C

Gear VST Instruments Drums - Triaz Aux Perc - Kontakt (Shimmer Shake Strike 2) Bass - Omnisphere Phased Rhodes - Keyscape Leads - Falcon and Kontakt Strings and Pads - Omnisphere, Tal-U-Know-LX, Arturia Pigments Arps - Z3TA+ 2, Dune 3

FX Valhalla Plate, Room Reverb, Delay, Supermassive Output Thermal Softube Dirty Tape Fabfilter Saturn2, ProQ4 Arturia Comp FET-76

A delightful place to spend some time, nicely balanced

There's great energy here right from the off. It's a very danceable track and has an uplifting, joyful feel to it that is brightening my day perfectly. :-)

very fun sound, and clean too. I especially love that twinkly arpeggio with the delay on it. Pretty surprised by how many synths are on this, the arrangement sounds full and not cluttered at all. nice job!!

Ah, yes, lovely sounds here definitely. I love it how it bounces around playfully. I imagine standing on the soil of a distant red planet with pink bubbles dancing and popping all around me.
