Thanks! I created the synth basic melody lines for the primary synth and then looped it, but in the later parts of the midi of the loop, I altered the melody to achieve a kind of generative effect. If I had a MIDI generator, I’d have allowed it to be random, as that was similar to the idea.

thanks. I like those arpeggiators, but don’t use them as often as I might. The last part tries to experiment with the melody, but it may indeed be a bit inchoate rather than solid and articulate. thanks for your comment.

I’m always pushing the percussion at the wrong places, which, I suppose, means my songs will always sound like a children’s TV program rather than a dancefloor repertoire :). Thanks for the comment!

Isn’t that the most synth-y harpshichord ever? I loved the way it sounded, though in the third part of the song, I wonder if I should have gone for a mellow e-piano instead.

Thanks! But math is lovely, I’m told. I barely survived Calculus III. If I’d been good at math, I coulda been a contender :).

Thanks, Vicky. I work in pads and synths, and yet a melancholy sometimes rolls in. I like the idea of time travel, but I’m mostly grateful to have memories.

It’s definitely an early 80s vibe on the synth melody and perhaps late 80s/early 90s on the drums. But you have to relish those times, not be filled with remorse :).
