Notes & Process
Greetings (and salutations!) my dear Steemians. @d-pend here. I decided to try my hand at creating another electronic music piece. This one's got a bit of a different vibe! It's really fun getting back to it. (This is beat #2, for the record.) To create this I recorded a beat using an Arabic drum kit sample, then recorded kick and snare parts. I recorded a chantlike vocal, and a lead synth part. Then I recorded a bell part, and a "pluk-o-dy" part. I used a pretty inefficient process to make this, where I recorded all the parts for the whole song, then later in volume automation reduced them to inaudibility during parts I didn't want them (for the main parts I just mentioned.)
Then I wrote a bridge using some different chords on a synth pad, and wrote a short vocal part to it. The lyrics are
All is one, my life is gone
Or is it found? I linger on.
which speaks about the uncertainty one sometimes experiences as a spiritual seeker and the resistance of the egoic construct to dissolving into the everythingness. After that I recorded a rhodes part for the ending, and another vocal melody very reminiscent of funk tunes. Last I recorded some sound effects with beatboxing. Then I spent a reeeeeaaallly long time automating volume, panning, and other effects. I put flanger and phaser on the vocal parts. Last, I used the LANDR service to master it. And yeah, that's about it! I'd love to hear your feedback on it. It feels really good to be making music again, so I'm just having fun with it and getting my ear back in shape. I consider these "practice exercises" to improve my chops.

Excellent. As a fellow composer I believe these musical compositions on one of your MAIN fortes, and I STRONGLY urge to to keep producing more of these. To add some incentive I have tweeted this Dsound page out as part of my ongoing Steemit Twitter marketing campaign. Here's the tweet : https://twitter.com/TranscriptJunky/status/956823236649549824 and then I ReTweeted it via my https://twitter.com/BitcoinsNGravy profile. I hope to be able to tweet our MORE of your pieces into the future. Let me give you some of my expert marketing advice for how to best do this. Ideally, what you want to do is create a YouTube channel where you can upload these dongs (with a cover image for the video) and then it is much more easy and productive to share that video on social media (where it is embedded in tweets, and so you can play the video song right inside the twitter feed. An ACTIVE example of this is one of my client's songs "Ode To Satoshi" : https://twitter.com/BitcoinsNGravy/status/956392820373315584 I know how to do all of this stuff, so if you are interested in doing this I can guide you through the process. It's easy. Then we can tweet these FINE songs of yours on social media, and simultaneously help draw more people into Steemit by using Steemit related hashtags such as : #Steemit #dsound etc. Let me know your thoughts, and if you are interested in making this happen. I can help in VARIOUS ways on my end with the marketing stuff, while you provide the talent. Keep it up...

Diggin' the modal, otherworldly feel. These are some wonderfully fun tunes you have been working on. Can you shed some light on your process for creating the rhythm in this track?

I've been playing around of late and am having a good time letting the energy flow (lots of learning as I do not have any training and am just stubling as I go). Your musical past really shows here -- I hope you explore this more experimental avenue Much More.

Thanks again for sharing this work with us.
Great job!! You worked a lot on this piece trying to perfect the sounds. My first impression was the percussion. I like the Arab sounding drum pattern. Those beats were from your synth?
Overall I see a transformation in your audio posts getting into a transcendental funk. "Linger" is holding us in a state just above the ordinary reality and then ends with fantastic ecstasy.. Oooooo...yeah!

Hey! What a nice compliment. I'm still amateur in many ways, but I appreciate it. I think I just feel dwarfed by my many talented audio engineer friends, lol. Thanks for stopping by and have a great day @akomoajong!

I don't know much about electronic music. This is my first time of hearing it. The song or music made me sleep. Like I slept off while listening to it. But the sound isn't bad, because any beat that makes me sleep off even when I'm very much awake is something special and awesome. Hope you'll enlighten me on this electronic music.

That's interesting @nwizu. Never heard the phrase used that way, "slept off," but I catch your drift! Glad to hear your impression. As far as electronic goes, as long as you have the electrons, and the ick, then you can make any strange synergy you like xD Gotta use the ears, is all :-P
