'Degra' - New Original Music - A 10 Minute Songwriting Challenge, Plus a Little Extra Copy Pasta - Electronic/Instrumental + Walkthrough

## So I decided to sit down a couple of nights ago
<div class="pull-right">https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/grapthar/FuBwDSON-Screen20Shot202021-02-1420at209.32.2820PM.png<center><b>Track 3, One of many LABS instruments</b></center></div><div class="text-justify">and do another 10 minute writing challenge.  Essentially, this is the idea, though I did copy and paste a few things to make it a little longer yesterday, just so I could hear what was going on.  Basically, my idea was to write something that isn't really quantized, and uses some really weird progressions.  There are some parts here that feel weird and disjointed, but I do like the general idea, so maybe I'll take them into a new track, and try and write something more cohesive using them.  Track 2 was where I started, which outlines the basic progression, divided into two 8 bar sections.  It starts on a D5, up to Eb5, then moves from Eb to F, acting like a Vi to Vii in Gminor, but instead we resolve up a halfstep from the F to a Gbminor, which is a really interesting resolution that, in a more orchestral context, could sound really cinematic and interesting.  The 2nd 8 bars begin on Dmin, down to a Bmaj, then that same Vi Vii move, except starting on Bb to C, and resolving to a D major.</div>

I don't love these parts... I wanted them to be dissonant, so I just dropped notes in at random, without really listening to them, and some of it works, but I think finding something else to fill these spaces would be better.  I think the song is best when the piano in Track 6 comes in, which just hits root notes, from which the other tracks seem to swell out of.  Track 7 was supposed to double this, but I must've accidentally selected a different instrument, cause it isn't audible.  I'll take these ideas into a new session and see what happens, hopefully it'll be more interesting, as this is a strange, rough idea that I don't think is a 'song' really.</div>
