Chant

Another mostly-electronic instrumental that I recorded on OP-1 in 2021 or 2022, did a few mixes of and then decided it didn't have enough going on to be viable. But in November last year, I got the idea of making an animated video for it. This is not that video! Because animation is hard and time-consuming and it's going to take a little longer for me to get there. I am, however, working on it, and designing characters and settings, in-between all my other projects. Recorded on OP-1 with built-in presets and sampled MicroFreak sounds. Drum parts were fingerdrummed and unquantized; I decided to embrace the slop. This was a bit of a problem when I made the mix for this video, decided to add bass and guitar to it, and cursed myself for allowing the drums to be that sloppy. I also doubled up the MicroFreak and added one extra sample at the end to give it a little more kick. I wonder if anyone will recognize it.
