Since I enjoyed writing the other two ravey/electronic/retro dance songs so much last week, I decided last night to write another one in the same vein. It literally took like 25 minutes, but it is fun to confine yourself to simple progressions and harmonies. I feel like this could use some other instruments to build up the harmony halfway through, but I didn't find anything that blended well, it was either too inaudible, or was too distinct and distracted from the rest of the instruments. Maybe tonight I'll go back and add like a digital guitar or something, that was the go-to trick for beefing up the previous two I did.
Again, like the other 2 songs with Lazer in the title (lol), was an attempt to write a future robo-rave/video game/retro synth style song. I think I achieved that haha.
Basic song structure is AABABABA etc. into the fade out (the BPM builds up while fading out too, I just think it sounds funny so I have done it on all 3 of these dancey tracks haha). The song is in Fminor; the A section follows this basic progression: Fmin, Cmin, Db major x3 and the final measure just builds up using C major (although you can hear the arpeggiated instrument hitting the tritone [B natural] and then C, adding more tension).
The B section is another straight forward progression: Db maj, Eb maj, Fmin... Bb min, Ab maj, Fmin. However, when the Bb and Ab are played, the bass stays on Db and Eb, respectively, adding some more harmonic depth to an otherwise basic pop form.
I like the rhythm of the synth bass, playing on the upbeats every second time around except for the 8th bar in the chorus, where it moves to the downbeats, providing a break to the repitition.
The instrument pack I used for all 3 of these dancey numbers I found online for free, and it seems to have quite a few typical EDM sounds, something I was definitely lacking on Ableton, as I don't usually write songs in that genre specifically.
Hope you guys enjoy!
