Circlejourney: (booklet commentary)
This was me noodling with the synths in FL Studio, trying to make something as sweet and bubblegummy as the shade of pink in the illustration.
I couldn’t pretend it wasn’t inspired by Carly Rae Jepsen if I tried. The title itself is based on a lyric from her song Picture. I can’t say what specific genre it’s reminiscent of, but it was a sincere attempt to make something that would sound vaguely at home on a J-pop playlist.
There’s a bit going on here synth-wise: it was the first time I’d tried making a more complex strum pattern, which you can hear in the last third of the track. There’s also a generous helping of sound effects: bicycle bells, the crows synth (one of my favourites), and the water drop effect for example.
SPECIAL THANKS
Splitsuns for the invaluable production feedback on this track, and helping me iron out some modulations!
