Day 23: Finding Sounds

I ended up scraping the first version w/o remorse. From the beginning I knew the first song would require a large learning curve while I figured out how to manipulate and utilize the softwares in the manner that I want.

Finding decent sounds has been the most difficult part thus far. I've had to accept poorer samples or synthesizers and simply trudge forward. Once I finish the song's basic structure, I'll be able to implement effects in order to create the sounds that I need.

So far I'm two verses and the chorus in. I know I want to add at least: a dissonant atypical pop chord, a bridge, and a dramatic finish.

The song is about perfume. Yes, perfume (but perhaps not in the way you're thinking).

And we press on.
