Unidentified prologue of horizon

A slow space journey

Current weather: 13°C (Partly cloudy)

Liner Notes

For this FAWM I wanted to challenge myself to write 14 songs in one session, using a small portable musical instrument that I've been using more and more: the OP-Z. The OP-Z is a drum machine, sampler, sequencer and synthesizer the size of a TV remote control, and I love how it enables me to quickly sketch out song ideas and write full productions.

In addition to the OP-Z, I also used a Korg "mini kaoss pad 2S" to add some effects to the OP-Z, including reverb, filters, and distortion. During January I practiced with the OP-Z and the Korg, trying to make at least a song per day.

I used Titular (http://muse.fawm.org/titular) to generate the titles for the songs, and it really helped my creative process since I tried to interpret the seemingly random titles. For "Unidentified prologue of horizon" I pictured some kind of slow space journey.

I livestreamed my session to YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7YnyxxMnXpA) in case anyone is interested in seeing the workflow with the OP-Z.

That is a great sounding instrument. I had no idea. This doesn't sound like a jam, it's a whole complete composition. Off to the ITube! 😀

definitely feels very spacey and floaty. The pad and the wobbly lead really help give it that feel.
