Hello,
This song means a lot to me and I wanted your opinion a=on the structure. It isn't the typical song structure. I used 2 Keys, AM and the parallel Am key - by use of a pivot chord.
So i was making this song about my dog in my office when he was there. I noticed something wasn't quite right, and he passed away later that day at the vet.
How it was made:
I played a guitar with the program GuitarMidi which i then turned into a harp with the Kontakt. I created some pads with FM8 (they are very light and may only be heard with nice headphones) I took the pads and reversed them, and then sliced and rearranged into the correct order.
I made a little light drum loop and copied and reversed it, then laid them together for a swoop like effect. I found the Parallel key to the one I was using and made the song change into Am for the break - but i tried to make the minor section the actually more upbeat than the intro. I played also some more gentle guitar midi for the bridge, then some acoustic guitar lead for the 2nd half of the song. I made sure to really pay attention to the balance of real with electronic sounds. Also just for the fun of it I added some N64 samples (which you may not find- but they are a star fox ship sample and a Pokemon snap water droplet).
I love to give feedback- just give me a link to your track.
