🐾 As you may know about me by now, I like to experiment with my music and different production methods and whatnot. Sometimes I experiment with songs I'm already working on, ideas I've written down, or in this case, I'll mess around with random audio/vocal clips/samples I have just to experiment with other concepts. This project actually spawned from a combination of tests. The first of which, and the primary reason for this experiment, was the vocals. There are many videos on YouTube explaining the various ways you can use audio samples, such as vocals, in a song or remix -- something about pushing and pulling, idk, it's been a while since I've watched that tutorial. For Fluttershy singing her song "Hush Now, Quiet Now", I figured out what key the song was in, as I usually do, and copied the melody on its own instrument to better emphasize it, but instead of making the song based on that particular key, I actually made the song based on its relative minor scale, meaning that I didn't need to change anything in the melody because the two scales share the exact same notes, but instead I built the rest of the song around the relative minor. I didn't change the vocals at all to change it to ITS minor key, like instead of Bb major I made it Bb minor -- no; a relative minor is another key's minor scale that shares the same note as a different key's major scale. Bb major's relative minor scale would be G minor.

🐾 In trying to focus on experimenting with this concept (which I'm sure isn't hard for most people but for me, even though I have music theory knowledge, I never really composed anything so I'm still learning how to work all that knowledge into electronic music), I didn't want to focus too hard on ancillary aspects, like drums, so I used some drum loops. Personally, I don't like using loops. I know a lot of websites and libraries provide free-to-use loops of various types, but I feel like that's cheating for me, so I don't use them if I can manage the ideas myself. For this song, though, I just kinda dropped some loops here and...like it. I decided to do it again with the riddim bass loop thing at the end just to fill in the extra space, and...this isn't really a song, but I liked the final product and decided to share this.
