Update to Current Project









Still working on the project previously known as "Monster". I shopped it around to some friends and family and I think it was my brother who said "You should add some high notes in there" and so I fiddled around with for a little bit and this is what I came up with.

The thing is once I added the high notes, "Monster" just didn't fit the feel of the song anymore. In fact, it sounds an awful lot like Moby's "Summer" to me which was never what I intended but here I am nonetheless. Anyways, taking a cue from Mr. Melville Hall, I renamed it "Saturday Sun Rays". Cheesy, but that's what the song said to me, so deal. :)

I need to fix that ending though, the music doesn't signal the end quite right and it all feels rather abrupt.

Oh, and I think I called the synth last time "oxycontin" which if I'm not mistaken is some kind of medication and not the name of the synth. The name of the featured soft synth is oxytocin.

Last but not least, this project is SERIOUSLY taxing Live. I have crashed Live about 6 times using this file. I think the strings you hear in the background are actually a rather large and complex instrument and I think that is causing some of the instability.
