Part of the evolution of my career as an EDM producer.

There's really not much to say about this one. I still had no idea what I was doing. I had an idea about trying to find a groove in the song, and I did okay with this one but there are others where I've done much, much better. Even back then.

It's no joke that I listed both "Techno Kit" and "Pop Kit" twice. One of the drawbacks to GarageBand is that if you want to overwrite something, you have to literally erase the original clip you wrote. Ableton allows you to edit more selectively, adding and subtracting notes and beats, but not GarageBand. It's all or nothing. So if, like me, you have trouble figuring out how to play the snare, kick and hihat all at the same time, you have to do them on more than one track.

It's kind of a spare sound, which is something I have been trying to not do. I really want to learn how to produce that full wall-of-sound experience, but I was definitely not there yet.

I named it "110 Sunnyside Morning" because I was trying to write something light and happy. And it is, compared to some of the other stuff I wrote around this time.

I hope you enjoy it!

Peace out and catch you later...
