Your Musical Steem Report Week 11 (March 12th - March 18th)
This music composition as made based on the movement of the Japanese candlesticks for Steem this week. This week we saw a slow but small burn downward for Steem. Please follow along the steps that went into making this!

Compositional Process
This was a really different process than I normally do. The synth I chose is very ethereal. I added a delay and a reverb on it. This was a complete improvisation watching the chart, holding parts that hold but not with exact timing as I've done in the past. In a way, it is really intriguing to me the way I had to follow the chart and come up with harmony in real time. Because of the improvisatory nature, I was able to create something sort of odd and following the chart without the whole process as the weeks before. I think I will do a mixed approach in weeks going forward moving around in my process.

Session
The session was quite easy to set up. I loaded ONE pad synth, with a Korg delay, and a EMT-140 reverb. I doubly compressed the pad because it had parts that were too stabbing, I also eq'd it and adjusted the attack. This way it's a totally new and original sound and it has a powerful fullness to it.
The Sequence:
The Mixer:
If you like, take a look at the signal flow in the mixing window (for audio people). Instead of placing the delay on the track, I decided to send it to a delay track. I added an EQ before it hit the delay so the delays will all be high vs add a mid and low end to it. With this, it stands out and there is no muddiness with delays at least.
Steemians, how have you all liked these crypto charts in music form?
