'Pluck and Forth' - New Original Music - Another 15 Minute Songwriting Challenge - Electronic/Instrumental + Walkthrough
This is the result of another
timed writing exercise I challenged myself to the other night. 15 minutes is SUCH a short amount of time when you're trying to come up with multiple parts, so essentially, I have 1 progression which repeats in two different keys, Gmin and Emin. I think I was working at a reasonable pace, but towards the end, I started spending a little too long selecting synth sounds, so I lost a few minutes probably, but I think picking sounds at random can turn out a little... meh... so I'm cool with it.
Listen to Pluck and Forth here.
Track 1 provides little arpeggios
which outline the basic chord progression, moving from i, to Vi, to iv, to Vii. The second time around, I add a iv chord after the Vii, before we change keys. In Track 1, the Brown section is in Gminor, and Pink in Eminor. Track 2 adds a lower synth, sort of providing a digital 'cello'-esque sound. Finally, we have Tracks 3, 4 and 5, which add little plucky lines throughout, kinda sparsely, just breaking things up a bit.
Tracks 1, Brown and Pink sections.
Track 2, Pink and Violet.
Hope you enjoy the results of this timed challenge! Thanks for listening!
