Starting off sounding much different, this has undergone considerable transformation in Audacity to reach the form in which you hear it now. Drone from a window a/c unit and more jackhammering from the other side of our building.
This piece is somewhat programmatic, somewhat expressive. I wanted to tell a story of moving from a dark place of drudgery and powerlessness to finding courage, strength, purpose, and joy.

After reading the book: The Immortal Life of Henryetta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot. Google HeLa cells and you'll get the whole story. The most famous cell line EVER.

Her name was Henryetta Lacks but she never knew
Her family finally…

I am always trying to recreate the sounds of a window a/c unit,.. sometimes I come close,.. I don’t know why I don’t just record my unit,.. ?? This is great 👍 ever so gradually increasing pitch,.. that’s perfect.. a kind of building to the peek but not a intense peek but it is a fade,.. again unexpected and excellent,..

The B-side for my July 30DaySongs submission is a cover of a tune I've loved since it came out way back in 1982. Wilsun has been having a rough go if it lately and I recorded this to hopefully cheer him up for a bit.
I am really liking the koala app . 🐨
How are you able to save the songs as mp3's
There's the ping pong stereo setting for each sample I have not tried.. this app reminds me of crusher-X from 20 years ago.. similar with samples and stuff but it only had 4 samples and it was totally granulated synthesis.. I have used koala 🐨 on the android phone but I hope to put it on my older iPad if it will work..
In my head
All the time
Relentless
Tieing me down
In my room
Now and forever on repeat
It won't leave me
I reject those who help me
I'm ashamed:
You think me weak
It's lasting then
Did I mention
It destroys me
All of the time…
Song idea number 20 is finished song number eight of 50 for the 2023 50/90 challenge.
I really like the vibe of this one, simple and basic with a cool groove, but I HATE the vocals. The melody, the lyrics, and most of all the performance…
Song idea number 12 becomes finished mix number ten of 50 for the 2023 50/90 challenge.
I don't hate it, but the lyrics are laughably bad and there are some really bad pitches in the vocals in the chorus that were copied and pasted all over…
Mike's fun rockabilly follow-up to Scammers, Spammers, and Cons from a previous RPM Challenge.
We recorded the drums, bass, one rhythm guitar track, and a scratch vocal take live off the floor, then added the other guitar tracks and a clean…
Another lovely song from Leum. He's prolific, that one is!
It was fun to collaborate on lyrical tweaks for this one, working together to tighten up a solid draft into a rich, compact song.
For recording, we used a couple of condenser mics…
Finally got around to connecting several electronic items on my side desk - Kawai R-50e drum machine from around 1995, Fostex X-18 4-track tape recorder from a couple of years earlier than that (I think), a Korg volca keys from 2021, and a handful…
Time was when I used to see you hiding
Your face so clear amongst the crowd
Time was I could sense you in the same room
As if you'd called my name out loud
Don't kid yourself, you've not got ESP
Your face so clear amongst the crowd
I'd…

slick and sick and so so thicc

dig your beat-style
lovely
clearly you are!
This is excellent. Very effective mood shifts.
I don't understand being criticized for a track being TOO LOUD. Doesn't everybody have a "volume" knob?

At the same time i feel so many undescribable emotions while also kinda floating above the clouds
It's like a loungey version of a Synth-pop classic! Well done, and a very fun listen. Thanks for bring a smile on my face for a bit.
