The Making of 'Gungame' Pt.1
What started as an experiment, later became a song that would help me learn, grow and try new things. I wanted this to be a reflection of my growth, to draw ideas and inspiration from everyone and everything around me.
It started with a melody which I scribbled together in seconds (litterally). I created a basic synth, a drum pattern, and mashed together a skeleton of a song within an hour. After which I sent to my bro for his thoughts
Immediately it was clear that the melody needed work. In particular the finishing high note. After I listening to it again, I thought it was trash lol. So I went back and made some adjustments. The tweeks made the melody resolve much better. (And this melody would remain virtually unchanged till the final release)
Next up was the percussion. The original pattern was pre-school basic. And the sounds themselves were just pulled from a sample pack. @aim_bbox gave a short beatbox clip to highlight the sound n pattern he was thinking of, which would later be used as a drum pattern variation in the song. Beatbox was also sampled to create a completely original drum kick! Which I thought worked so much better than just pack samples in the end.
Although progress was made, it was still just basic skeleton of a song without a real theme or overall structure. The song was parked aside for weeks and months before inspiration struck.
At this point, covid had hit. And being at home in iso meant more time to focus on the music.
