Everyone says wut (featuring zipp and a special scat singing section by izzy)
An experiment into different grooves, slower grooves. At 110bpm, there is a lot more space to put different rhythmic elements and percussive sounds so I found it a very rewarding experience. The song starts with a steady four on the floor pulse that most people would be familiar with, along with syncopated rimshots and synth sounds. I wanted to include some dancy grooves based on the 3-2 son clave (from Afro-Cuban music) with a slight modification, so i dropped right into those sections from the 4 on the floor parts, with the intention of presenting the son clave in context with the regular meter. I find the son clave pulse to be very groovy, and i've used it quite prominently in a couple songs (Unicorn Attack and my remix of Pull Over). Also did a polyrhythm/meter thing with a cowbell in the second half just because i like it. Actually i did this whole song cause i like making songs like this: big focus on rhythmic elements and emphasis placed on sub bass. I hope you can enjoy it as much as i did.
This time i did the math and made the animation exactly synced to 110bpm at 30fps. Still needed to nudge the video speed a couple times in the NLE but otherwise it's great. I made the janky dance animation from scratch on a livestream a day before, so check it out if you're interested haha (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XOiQIFmxNZg)
