Dark Sporch Chronicles

Arthhur · 2018
SynthwaveElectronic

I had bought a polyphonic synthesizer. Plantasia was all the rage.

This was a fun exploration of theory and production techniques for me. I was watching a lot of 8-bit Music Theory and indulging myself on “in the box” music making.

What I Learned

  • Phasing
  • Theme modifications
  • Counterpoint
  • Practical application of theory
  • My first foray into drum programming

I was unemployed and would wake up, apply for jobs for three hours straight, and then launch into this in the afternoons.
