Notes
This is my most recent track. It's got a nice wurly in it (especially towards the end), and a fun bass-line, too... The drums are from the demo of Native Instruments Battery3; everything else is Kontakt.
It has a welcome feeling indeed.
In the second part, with the repetition, the main voice should have some more room for an occasional happily singing around,
in stead of just decently following the base melody lines again.
This is very fun. I think I need to listen again and inspire myself to write something a bit more happy than I usually do.
Thanks for the feedback, tvdude and Sam_Zen.
@Sam_Zen: Do you mean that it should be a little bit more improvised? I agree that it shouldn't just be a straight repetition.
@tvdude: It was fun to write. Happy music nearly always is, especially when you're not trying to be too serious. =D
Sort of. I didn't mean improvisation that much, but sometimes in a melody line it's enough to pick a next note an octave or quint higher or lower in the scale.
