Happy Friday y'all! I recently rediscovered a song that's stupidly gorgeous to the point that I needed to try my hand at it uwu
started learning the guitar part last night, so this is a very early WIP, but it's also very fun to play :)

do you ever just randomly remember that a particular tune exists, it gets *very* stuck in your head, and suddenly you're writing for piano quintet for the first time?

(tuning is Eb Ab D G Bb F, and originally I had an Eb instead of D, but I struggled finding a voicing that sounded good for the V⁷/Gm in verse 2, so I tuned the 3rd string down to fix that :3)

and this is how it sounds in practice! (I've only got 3 PShifts running on this track ATM and need to tweak the automation/maybe add like 1 or 2 more, but I'm very excited to have found a way to achieve this sound with stock Logic plugins uwu)

Today I learned that if you need a pitch bend of more than 50 cents in Logic, you can just stack multiple of the stock PShift plugin on top of each other and touch automate the cents parameter for each one to get a deeper and smoother cent drop :3

today I learned that if you export a midi file from dorico and import it into a logic session, it also imports all the time signature changes! yippee!
for this cover, I'm thinking maybe I should transcribe the rest of the tracks and then record myself playing along live? 👀

not to be a nerd but I really like counting the intro 5+6+7 and then when the drums come in you just take out the 7 and on the 4th repeat of the motif with full band it's actually 3 counts of 5 (or 5+6+4 if you're a FREAK) before going right back to 5+6, but 9/4-11/8 is easier to read...

Genuinely I found the 1st level of Sirena Beach (the manta one) to be more infuriating than this, despite it's reputation as one of the 'hardest levels' in sunshine.
Solid challenge imo, and it didn't feel overwhelmingly jank!
