daily song post

<-- the previous day's song | the next day's song -->

today's song is: Growth of a Honeysuckle Vine, .mptm module (souped up .it)

for this one i wanted to create a corollary to this song by using the same set of instruments. i was pretty happy with the post-rock instrumentation there and felt excited to reuse them. like with that song, the only effects used were the stock DirectX ones; controlling them with the "PC / Parameter Control" events in .mptm is actually pretty cool and fun! it's a sensible form of automation i think.

i built the song off the guitar part, which was written first at the piano and then played into OpenMPT. the meter and phrasing are a little wonky; i just played it how i felt it should sound and worried about the rest later. this lends itself to a sort of disoriented, uneven feel throughout, which i had fun accentuating with the drum patterns, and what ultimately inspired the name - it made me think of something like a time-lapsed video of a vine growing. the string parts were kinda inspired by some of the music of the old post-rock/neoclassical ambient ensemble Rachel's, especially "Kentucky Nocturne" which even all these years later is still a song i think about very fondly.
