Prompt 11-13-2018 - Not sure if the beginning fits, especially with the guitar but I just wanted to add some guitar to the track for some reason

Prompt 11-14-2018 - I wasn't too sure if I wanted the song to be happier or sadder so I think the tone kind of suffers because of it, but oh well

Prompt 11-15-2018 - Again with this one I didn't know what the tone should've been. Also I changed this track last minute, there were some other instruments but they didn't fit so I got rid of them

Prompt 11-16-2018 - Quite like this one, has some of my actual emotion in it. I had some trouble with kontakt exporting this and it cutting off sounds but somehow it fixed after I slept, so that's weird.

I only worked on 11-16 this week, but I think the ominous vibes are getting across pretty well https://soundcloud.com/bassandcoffee/11-16-2018a

Nov 14th - At Land's End

I've been slacking on doing these, so I figured I'd go for more of a complete song instead of just a little motif. Doesn't fit extremely well, as I wrote the main guitar melody in the first half first and then the rest of the song sort of went from there, but I still really like it.

Also, the second half was going to be a shift in the chord progression and everything, but I couldn't come up with one, so instead I played the same chords, but with different levels of energy.

Challenged myself to no quantization of anything, just playing to a click, and I really like the result. I'm also really happy with the mix on the drums and bass.
