This is a super random track,

I was really bored a few nights back on Ableton and couldn't really think of anything to write, so I decided to make something completely atonal and wacky. That's always a good move if you have writer's block, just go nuts and worst case you have a noisey piece of insanity to share with the world lol.

Listen to NOIZE II here.

The first 3 instruments,

all pictured in BLUE in the above photo, are all the same progression, ascending major and minor 3rds, which wind up playing part of a whole tone scale, which gives this the super weird feeling it has. INSTRUMENT 3 is an arpeggiated synth, which instead of resting after the 5th chord, just holds onto it, which fills in that gap with the arpeggios.

INSTRUMENT 1, playing the main progression with 2 and 3.

The drum-track was done after I finished

the first 3 instruments, so I had it sort of follow the back and forth between track. The fast snare hits are only over the first 3 instruments chords, and then there is some little filler stuff that happens at the end of each measure. I don't know how much I like these drum sounds, but whatever, this a ridiculous weird song haha.

Listen to NOIZE II here.

Next up is INSTRUMENT 5, the bassline,

pictured in RED in the overview. It comes in after the main chords in the first 3 instruments, with a downward buzzy slide effect, so each measure moves up and down and up down etc. As you can see in the photo below, the bassline seems like just a single note bending down, but in reality I had to play it as different notes that overlap to create that effect with that specific instrument.

The bassline as described above.

INSTRUMENT 8, which only plays during for the first half

of the track, is just a single synth chord, played staccato; the first time around it's a Csus4, and the second time it's a Cminor, although neither one is particularly obvious.

Listen to NOIZE II here.

Lastly we have INSTRUMENTS 9 and 10,

both of which fill in the end of the track. #9 is the crazy bouncing minor 2nds that move down and up twice, back and forth. I like this Instrument a lot, it really makes this insane song even more insane haha. Last up is INSTRUMENT 10, which is the staccato bassline. It basically just plays a chromatic little riff, and ends the track.

Hope you "enjoy" this madness haha. Thanks for the support, Steem On!
