After completing “Blah Blah Blah” on the Nintendo DSi, I played the demo songs that came with the game and became curious how they accomplished some of the effects I heard. I discovered a feature of the song sequencer where you can mute different instruments as each pattern plays, instead of having to make separate patterns. That led me to experimenting with that feature, which led to working on another song. The final result is “Let Me Put My Stylus on Your Touchscreen,” now uploaded to the site. I also worked a little with one section of the synthesizer editing controls that I learned about, using that to add additional variety to the patterns.

Listen to the song

Now I’m focusing on my next regular song. I had a request for something acoustic at a point when I was in a mellow mood, and that resulted in me coming up with some folkish/balladish music I can loop. I’m working on the lyrics, and once those are done, I need to fine tune the music before it’ll be ready to record. Knowing how these processes usually go, it might be another week or two before that’s done. And that usually means I’ll fill time with some more electronica.
