Here’s that song I was working on finally complete. I played around with bass and synth like I said I would but in the end it sounded best without so I spent my time polishing, compressing and limiting the track. I also drew up some art to go along with the song. I will continue working in this style and see if I can get a small album going.

I like it! Repeating the 5-note descending motif at the beginning of sections makes the work feel unified.

I’m probably making a terrible faux-pas by doing this… no doubt trap  
artists all over the world will curse me… but if you replace the single  
trap line with:

trap\_hats(:drum\_cymbal\_hard, [1, 2, 3, 4].choose, rrand(0.7, 1.3), rrand(0.7, 1.3))  
trap\_hats(:drum\_cymbal\_closed, [6, 8, 12, 16].choose, rrand(0.7, 1.3), rrand(0.7, 1.3))

I think it’s okay, even if the rest of the trap world doesn’t… but then, what do I know.

I like it better actually, I think it carries more intensity and could work for a more aggressive beat. I’ll keep this saved for possibly using at a later time.
