This is an unfinished tune

that I began a couple of days ago. I got a bit of writer's block the other night, and didn't like some stuff I added, so I left it as it currently is. I am definitely going to be building on top of this, it needs something more than just the bass and drums (and the few chords in the Choruses), but I still am not sure what or how I wanna do that. In the meantime let's go through the basic shell of the song.

Listen to Gleekmin here.

Tracks 1 and 2 are both playing

the bass parts, with Track 1 using a super bassy, round bass synth, and Track 2 sort of a bit-crushed/distorted sound in the background. We are in 7/4 here, with each section consisting of 2 measures. The drums in Track 3 make things a little more interesting though, as the snares happen at regular intervals, so really it feels like we are in 14/4 the whole the time.

Tracks 4 and 5 come in

playing a few staccato chord hits which has a sort of glitchy effect. Currently, these two tracks only come in during the "Chorus" parts, pictured in Blue and Light Blue. Basically just a few note differences make the Verse, and 2 Chorus parts stand out from one another. I have attached one of the progressions that 4 and 5 play below, so check the screenshot while listening to the tune.

That's it for now, I will be doing more updates as this progresses from a shell to more of a full fledged tune, so stick around! Thanks for listening!
