## This is another super wild
noisey, weird one.  I wanted to write another short song, something super fast and weird, and I think I succeeded on that front haha.  There are only 6 tracks here, really 5 excluded the little waterdrop build up thing in Track 4.  Initially the drum beat was a lot slower, but I wound up doubling the speed, and it kind of turned into a grind song, which is awesome.

## First up is the drums,
which are Track 1.  It sounds like a blast beat, although as I said above, it wasn't initially going to be a super fast, crazy thing.  It was actually a weird kind of polyrhythm thing, but when I doubled the speed, it wound up sounding way more intense, so I wrote the instruments around it.  Because of the fast, crazy beat, I decided to add the noisey synth stuff, which kind of reminded me of **The Locust**, hence the title.

## Track 2 was the first instrument
I did, which is just a low buzzy synth, sort of has a throat-singing kind of effect to it.  This just plays whole notes, starting on C, down to Bnatural, up to C#, then back down to B before repeating.  It does this 2x, then we have the 1 measure break, and it repeats 2 more times.  Track 3 adds some more "harmony" and noise, playing minor 2nd intervals, starting on C(C#), then G(G#), F(F#) and then B(C).  These are whole notes too, so they only change once per measure.  In the 1 measure break, this instrument just plays F/F#, with a weird staccato rhythm.

## Track 4 is just a little
water drop tone that ascends up, moving us into the break, and the end of the song.  Track 5 is the last unique instrument, which is a heavy bass synth.  If the notes are played legato, it bends to the following note, and when staccato, they just play the single note.  So I made a wild, sort of random chromatic riff, parts of which are legato, and parts are not, so it bends and buzzes all over the place, making things constantly weirder and weirder.  Track 6 is just a mirror of Track 5 note wise, except played on a grainy synth with a lot of reverb.  This instrument is pretty quiet, just sort of fills in the sides of the track a little more and makes everything a little more full.
