'Number' - New Original Music - A 10 Minute Songwriting Challenge - Electronic/Instrumental + Walkthrough

from yesterday tonight, but last night, I was a bit bored, and decided to try and do a ten minute songwriting challenge, and this is the result. I didn't get a lot done in the 10 minutes as far as multiple tracks, but I did wind up with two Serum synths, so I think spending a few minutes each on those is pretty reasonable. I actually started with the bass, which I recorded into Track 5, from Serum. I like the envelope swell that happens with it, but I must have screwed up and had the last two notes overlap, so it only happens on the first two. I do like the dissonance of the line though, starting on D, down to Db, then down to A, up to an Eb, and then repeat.

kicks in Track 2, snares in Track 3, and some hats in Track 4. I did something unusual with the hats, using a 'selector' instrument, which has multiple hi-hat sounds that you can roll through, so I automated the sound choice knob so we get a few different hits. Track 6 is also drums, but I didn't have time to move it into the group. It just adds some shakers. Track 7 is another Serum synth, recorded to audio, which plays a higher, consistent 1/16th note progression, which moves from D, up to an A for two bars, then up again to Bb for a bar, before repeating. This harmony turned out to be pretty cool over the bass. Finally, we have Track 8, which was a piano track which played a 3 note line over each chord. I recorded this to audio, then chopped up each bar, and reversed them, so we get that cool backwards piano sound.

Hope you enjoy today's idea! Thanks for listening!
