Tools I Used

hydrogen drum machine using the Millo-Drums_v.1 drumkit
seq24 midi sequencer (see attached midi file)
zynaddsubfx (synthesizer, using the sounds yaooww, slow strings, and overdrive from the william godfrey collection sound library)

Samples I Used

i patterned the drum beat after the one used in them terrible's song called "dreamers", but i made the beat myself, from scratch in a midi sequencer

Original Samples

i created everything from scratch

Process

i started with the beat, then opened up zynaddsubfx and the first note i played i liked so i went with it and built a couple of different sounds in the same scale

Other Notes

i was a little stuck until i popped in a swedish general snus, then i got more creative. that seems to be a pattern for me. snus makes me more creative and helps me finish a song =)
