Very surprisingly, some psychedelia/prog-rock somewhere between #AlStewart and #ScottWalker today! I did not see this coming at all. But I enjoyed the drama!
Stick around till the end for the "Scott Walker" part.

Day 5 (Jan 5): BAROQUE, PART 2 – "On a Winter's Day"
On Day 5 I added a prelude, improved the melody lines and completed the buildup and finale. I also touched up the production.

Here's a big, old synthwave tune. A bit of Propaganda, It's a Sin – hyper-saturated. Honestly, if it was the only thing I did in January, I'd be happy. 😀

I set out to write a Beatlesque tune today. But it won't come as a surprise to anyone who knows me that I often end up sounding like vintage #PetShopBoys – no matter where I start!

Happy days! I always wondered if I could do a '70s #disco / #soul production with my gear. THAT'S A BIG FAT YES!
I didn't want to ruin the party with my pesky voice, so this is like one of those instr. 12" B-sides made for DJ's.

I'm starting to ease into February – which will be far less ambitious than January – with an '80s jam that I imagine could be used for a retro-styled ad or something like that.

A different kind of background music for an imaginary car ad. It's probably more like something that would actually be used in the #1980s - certainly in Japan, or so I imagine.

This is so #80s that it's hard to believe the same tricks haven't been put together exactly the same way before. That's kind of the deal with #synthwave and #retrowave, though - the formula IS the appeal. So I just enjoy the ride. 😁
