'Dänse2' - New Original Music - More Experimentation w/ Xfer Demos and Sounds - Electronic/Instrumental + Walkthrough

This idea came together last night

while I was building a drum rack using the various new samples included with the Serum demo. I built a basic beat (Tracks 2 and 3), then recorded it into an audio clip, with some new warp delay effects (Track 4). Track 5 provides a different version of that audio clip, where I warped a number of transients to create a very strange sound, which works for the more sparse breaks. I didn't spend much time mixing-wise, so that'll be the next step, and perhaps expanding the song a little bit.

Listen to Dänse2 here.

Track 5 is the first track

which provides our basic chord progression: Bmin, BminAdd9, C#dim, and G for the first 4 bars, then Bmaj7, Bmin7, C#dim, and G again, before repeating. Track 10 also plays these chords, with a different synth, as does Track 13 and 14, both of which are audio recordings of the chord progression with various effects/pitch bending. Tracks 6 and 7 work together to create our bass line, with Track 6 providing the thumpy bass synth, and Track 7 an electric piano, which gives it more definition. I really love this rhythm and the way it works with the drums, super funky and strange. The rest of the tracks add the various little accents and textures throughout.
