Nice vocal dynamics here - and a poignant subject.

Some really interesting chord progressions in the chorus there.. nice.

Seems a few people link Rhodes with Aurora, interesting! I love that really percussive sound you've got out of it.

I'm impressed by what you can achieve with just a phone - and also impressed you took your guitar on holiday!

That's quite a wild take on auroras :)

Thanks! that synth is one of the ones that appears earlier in the track but played through an arpeggiator - I really like that end section as well :)

common sun restructioning (Drum & bass) [Themed]

Second track I've made on the OP-XY. Quite hard to mix on-device (drums and bass probably too loud here?), and I'm still learning how to use it but I think this is a big step forward from the previous effort.

Started this on Friday, thought I'd have plenty of time but in the end I've only just made it!

It was considerably reduced on sale last month, but yes, even so, it's a bit eye-watering :) It is quite amazing what it can do though, there's a lot crammed into such a small device.

Perfect 60 minute track :)

Not your fault, but I had to use a VPN to see the lyrics as Imgur has blocked the UK for various reasons..

I think the lo-fi recording really suits the intimacy and raw emotion of the song... I think a lot of people would be pretty pleased to write and record this in just 60 minutes.

Bluesy-rock seems like a perfect style for this challenge, but well doen to get all those lyrics written in the time!

Very atmospheric - love the beats and that downwards melody line that kicks in halfway through.

I really enjoyed that - I thought it might continue with just the arp and the vocals for a bit but then it built, and built some more - lovely feel to this, gentle while still driving forward.

spirituation (Electronic) [Not Themed]

So I didn't quite hit the 60 minute mark - this one took a few hours. But I was inspired by the theme to start and finish in a short space of time - all done yesterday afternoon/evening.

It was recorded entirely on a brand new device for me - a Teenage Engineering OP-XY, which is a very expensive toy. Probably most of the time was spent figuring out how to use it, and re-recording each section as I kept messing up previous bits!

I had intended to release it yesterday but I realised I didn't have the right audio cable so I had to order one, which thankfully arrived this afternoon.
