Originally, I had used my piano-improv-plus-loop-at-different-tempo technique. However, the connection between the two was rather tenuous, so I found a section of the piano track that I liked and used this throughout instead and at tempo with the loop. Similarly to yesterday’s track, I have applied some long reverb and a little modulation, to make the most of the space in the music and also applied some delay, which I find brings the disparate elements together a little more convincingly.

I really like the cool brushes drum-loop and the way it responds to the various effects. For me, this is quite a sparse track, with only three sound sources: those drums, the piano and a synth patch. It’s often good to limit the amount of tonal layers, so that you are forced to use space and ideas, rather than just piling on more layers (which I’m apt to do).
