MIKEY SALERNO

This track was inspired by an artist named Fox Stevenson as well as video games. I am heavily house music which is which I believe stands out in the drop. I used Serum and created my own sound for the main lead in the drop.

Right before the main hook, I added a click sound that I made with my tongue and put an airy reverb on. I automated the LFO for the main chords coming from the plucky saw sounding synth. I liked how it sounded like it was moving underwater and out.

For the main melody in the beginning of the track, I used a variation of the E minor scale and adjusted the bass note to comply with each chord. I wanted the drums to be a strong driving force for the track so I made the kick extremely prevalent throughout the song as well as a hefty snare. I used white noise sweeps for effect and to fill space.
