## This came together last night,
and is definitely a bit of a silly/kooky little song.  However, I really do like the bass line, and will probably take that and move into something a little more "serious".  The staccato synth stuff here just has a bit of cheesiness to it, which is fine, but doesn't really do justice to the bass part.  But, anyway, since this is the song's current form, let's go through it!

## Track 1 is where I began,
in D minor, playing D minor, F major, C major, back to D minor.  Everything else is based around these chords, playing 3rds, 5ths and octaves to harmonize with this.  However, when we reach the darker blue/purple part in Track 1, we modulate into D major/B minor, starting with an F#7 or Bbdim, then B min, A maj to D maj.  I liked the modulation, but I feel like Tracks 5-7 could harmonize a bit differently and make the transition flow better.

## As pictured above,
the bass guitar in Track 2 and the bass synth in Track 3 follow the roots of the chords.  However, the little 1/16th note fills came out pretty cool, and the combination of this synth with the bass guitar had a great sound.  Again, I will probably take the ideas from this bass line, expand on them, and build a new song off it.

## Track 4 is our drums,
which build up into a full beat throughout the first 16 bars.  However, the snares are interesting in that they come in a 1/16th beat late (after the 2 of each measure), which follows the rhythm of Track 1.  Makes the typical 4/4 beat sound way more interesting, and gives it a cool drive.

## Track 5 harmonizes with Track 1
using some staccato notes, and a bit of a delay.  Tracks 6 and 7 mirror this progression, but instead of this happening at the beginning of each measure, it happens at the end, filling things out a bit more and making the melody feel like it sort of bounces off into the distance.  Tracks 8, 9 and 10 are just weird sounds used for transitions.  Not sure if I love them, but they worked as a temporary hold for something in the future.


## That's it for this one, hope you have enjoyed the walkthrough!  Thanks for checking out my blog!
