POD Song 3
Funk Rock
Untitled
This is a song that just randomly came about from a drum sample I got. The moment I heard it I immediately thought of a bassline. Once I heard the Drum and bass together, I knew I'd make it a funk rock song and from there it came with a bunch of experimentation with retro sounds and synth. The arranging to this was super challenging though before I just had a bunch of sounds that started to just become noise when everything got together. Eventually, I managed to sort it out but I realised there was another problem that I haven't had much experience with. Energy.
I'd always have this burst of energy in the intro which was good, but whenever I wanted to switch to the verse, suddenly all that energy just disappears and suddenly the song's feeling/direction is gone along with it. So I think the essence for this song is how I control the energy throughout through the arrangement or songwriting.

RnB
Untitled
Supposed to be game music but the RnB is something I really want to do.
BUT THIS, this one's a nightmare to work with. I'm a big fan of the genre and half the songs I have in my playlist are RnB songs. I still haven't figured this out yet and I just can't seem to capture that feeling that is special in RnB songs. I have somewhat of a foundation but it's not something I've satisfied with or contempt with as compared to the 3 other songs I've done.
