the stories behind our sequences

[nonexistent font]

I usually start with a pretty solid idea of a melody, or if not that, I directly take inspiration from a song I liked and use that as a basis for my creations. In some cases, I will directly pull chords or chord progressions from a song and modify them until I get something I like. Other times, I'll have a specific goal I want to work towards. I'll provide examples for each.


With this, I started off making it by taking the chords from Stolen Dance by Milky Chance, moving them to a different key, and shifting them around until I got something interesting. I wanted to make something with a similar feel to that song, and I was satisfied with the end result.


This one came about when I was making a bassline for a completely different song inspired by a video game OST (I forget which track it was specifically.) Turns out, the bass worked vastly better as a melody, so I used it as such and the resulting sequence was very good. Much of the sequences I made around this time have a similar feel, and were heavily inspired by dark cat, Psyqui, Snail's House, and Polyphia.


Last one I'll mention ITT, this one was specifically made for me to push the limits of what I was used to in terms of technicality and get used to more varied transitions, so I focused on incorporating as many things I hadn't used often as possible, such as time signature changes. Turned out alright. Lately, I've been wanting to do make another version with percussion and possibly a wider variety of instruments, so we'll see how that goes.
