Day 70. This didn't quite come out the way I wanted, I think all the chord hits might need more filling out with additional instruments. I had fun piecing together video effects to go along with the music though!

Day 69. Today's song is basically in no time signature, and features the electric cello again. It's a simple theme that I developed by flipping the notes and playing through it in a few different chords. There's a faint harp sound that helps provide context, and there's a soft droning soundscape under everything.

Day 67. I'm not super thrilled with this, but I have a bunch of other things I need to do today so I need to be finished. I like the opening bit with the filter that opens up for 2 bars, but I was having a hard time figuring out what else to do with this today.

Day 66. Tried two new things today. First time attempting something in the "electro swing" style. I have a long ways to go to even approach sounding like Parov Stelar though. I also learned how to make the sweep sound that is in a bunch of this as well as other style music. The sweep sound is a white noise generator run through a filter whose cutoff frequency changing creates the sweep effect.

Day 65. I decided to keep it simple with this one, only adding the little chimes on top of the piano and no other instruments. I used a strong wet reverb effect on the piano to give it a "distant" feeling.

Day 64. There was a brief moment of sun today, so I took the opportunity to go on a bike ride up and down the esplanade! This song has nothing to do with the ride, though. This song started with the bells you hear at the beginning, and I built it up from there. I actually wasn't planning on adding the drums and synth sound until I got half way through building up the strings, but I thought it would be an interesting way of quickly escalating it.
