After my serum test, gemuerr was commenting on so called "one button hits". It refers to the practice of using a single, complex preset from a synth like Serum to make an entire hit edm/dubstep song.

I realized that in the past I kinda forced myself too much to avoid clichés. But then, after reading about creative strategies for music creation, it was crystal clear to me that clichés are a great source of inspiration and especially fun to work with.

I recently finished the Masterclass by Joel Zimmerman and I created a lot of sound experiments along the way. This one is the beginning of something I intend to finish later. It sounds very Deadmau5y but there are ideas in the project file which evolve into its own thing.

Something very different. Played around with more complex progression and remembered that I had Native Instrument's Kontakt somewhere and used its orchestral sounds.

However this was neither done in 30 minutes, not in the morning. Took about 1hour of which ~15-20 minutes were spent getting my orchestral sample library up and running and then fumbling around with it. If everything had been in place, it could've been done in 30minutes… soooo. I consider this a 30minute morning loop. Although it's 01:45 here now - but it's morning someplace else.

No automation, no mixing, no sound design.

Not too happy with the outcome - progression/harmony-wise. But still quite happy. I tried a new workflow which I will definitely use again.
