For SounDevotion Competition Round 54

Falling from silver clouds
Carried down by the wind
Tossed around, up again
To the warm ground, descend
Gently, snowflakes will land
To the ground, receives them

The theme was winter or holidays.  In the past, when we’ve done this theme I made a rearrangement of a public domain Christmas hymn, so while I made this to be an original composition, I knew that I wasn’t going to have a lot of time to work on it.  Despite that, I am happy with the result; it was difficult to get the vocal and guitar sounds.

No Wasted Time

For SounDevotion Competition, Round 53

Taking samples of something I noodled in Korg DS-10 and then tracking (with Renoise) around them generated a result that feels neither like tracking, nor like jamming on DS-10.  Please recall the 90s when there were a lot of tech/trance music that dared the listener to sit through repeating motifs and watch for very subtle changes.  Thankfully, I’m not that subtle.

The lyric means that extremism is not rewarded as often as it may appear to be, and that something can be gained from any experience, positive or negative.

There is no home for the quiet
There is no home for the loud
There is no home for the humble
There is no home for the proud

There is no wasted time.
